It was time to replace the big capacitors in the Beogram 4000 that I am rebuilding right now. I always enjoy this procedure, especially due to the clean install enabled by my 3D printed adapter. It accommodates smaller modern capacitor units, while giving the entire set-up an organized look. I made an earlier post that shows in detail what leads are connected where, in case you get confused while doing this procedure...there are a quite a few jumpers to re-solder...;-).
Here is a picture of my capacitor kit with adapter (this is available to other enthusiasts - just send me an email). The two back-to-back caps on the left replace the original bipolar AC motor phase capacitor. The adapter has notches that fit to the original capacitor mounting strap holding everything firmly in place:
I used this kit to replace this fairly messy original set-up:
This is how it looks now after installation:
And here a detail picture of the connections:
On to recapping the PCBs and adjusting the motor trimmers.
