Accuphase E-280 Voltage Conversion (100V to 120V)
I suppose the last picture above is the post-modification (working at 120v) ? @jcgoobee Yes, if your E-280 has the same connections and color coded wires. 120V connection: 100V connection:

Harman kardon a300 rebuild
Please refer to the schematic, There are total of three filter capacitors in its power supply: one 100µF 200V can, one 50µF 400V + 100µF 200V can and one 3X 40µF can. Are you talking about the 50µF 400V + 100µF 200V can? It is two capacitors ins...
