Gentlemen I took Cmalak and Unsound's advice and called Thiel. They are in fact 15pF polystyrene capacitors. They have offered to service the crossovers for me and I'm considering letting them do it for me. Unfortunately money is an issue (isn't it always). Thanks for the all the responses. I always get good information here.
Need some help with Thiel CS3.5 crossovers
I started having some intermittent problems with my 3.5's, I decided to pull the woofers and take a look at the crossovers. Low and behold I had at least one blown cap in each crossover. I'm planning to recap them myself, but I'm no expert and I'm having trouble identifying one of the components in the crossover. In each group of caps there is a a small silver component. They appear to be labeled H15000 nohm 15000H. I'm attaching a link to a picture http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v682/zkellogg/image.jpg
If anyone could tell me what this little guy is I'd sure appreciate it.
On a side note, is there any reason to suspect or replace the resistors or coils while I have these guys out of the cabinets?
Thanks a ton!

Here are a 63Volt option, note your are most likely 1500 pF, but used as a bypass the actual value is not that critical, it sits over a 100uF electrolytic cap with a tolerance of 10 % 63V polystyrene capacitor Best of luck Peter |
It looks like a small polystyrene capacitor that is used for bypass here is one that will fit Capacitor These are hard to find above 50V which is marginal for a crossover Best of luck Peter |
