I am currently trying to replace the caps in my Bedini 100/100 amp and I am having quite the time trying to find a replacement that will work. I am hoping that someone with more knowledge can give me direction on which way I can go. The amp recently stopped outputting a signal and after all the usual internal checks, with an amp as old as this, cap replacement should be on the list of things to do.
The values and associated numbers on the OEM caps are as follows:
National Cap
85DX
+22000MFD 65VDC
85C USA 8137
Screw Terminals
D=2.5"
H=4.0"
Apparently 65VDC caps are something in the distance pass, of the possible replacement values is either 63V or 70V
is there a rule of thumb of which direction this value can go? Since it is for an amp, is there a brand/style I should be looking at? I can find little to no information on National Cap, do I assume they are no longer in business and move to another brand?
I have been searching for five days and fully understand I am out of my element and looking for all the help I can getand open to all suggestions.
