Deang Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I can't imagine what it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Dean, I know you are fond of yellow caps and thought you might want these that came from an original Klipsch Type AA. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Dean, you pissed at me or something, or just really busy? I know I am a PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Charles, I can't read email from my SBC account at work, and didn't get a good start on it until late last night. I didn't notice the PM until I read your post. How about an even swap? Bob, lol, what did those come out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 Dean, Original Klispch AA crossovers. Don't know the age. Bet they sounded rather mellow. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 This is another cap from the other crossover in the same set. I thought something told me it was almost impossible for a cap to go high in capacitance. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Makes me wonder if was just mislabeled to begin with, something that has happened to me twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 Dean, I was wondering that same thing. The other one from the other crossover, though, measures about 14 uF and is marked the same and the same physical size. By the way, these are from a 1974 set of Belles.

yaffstone Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Those caps don't look original for '74 Belles. They should be motor runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 They were original. I have seen a bewildering variety of caps used by Klipsch in the crossovers. In fact most of the ones people call "motor runs" that are in these crossovers are only rated at 100 volts. Not much of a motor if that is a motor run cap.

Jim Cornell Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Bob and Dean Those are the exact components that came on my original type AA 1975 Klipschorns. I went with the newer type AA 1980 and wish I would have saved those old parts. Some day Bob dont know when, Im running a 7 band eq for the moment. Prabably just fooling myself again.

Regards Jim ---------------- Jim, Don't worry about not saving those caps. Truly some of the worst I have ever encountered. The one being tested in the picture would have acted like a 48 ohm resistor in series with the tweeter. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cornell Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Thank you Bob I did the right thing without realizing it, its amazing how presice my ears really are. If you talk to Dean ask him if he might want 2 Solen 14 Ga 2.5 inductors, I keep forgetting. Regards Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
