Beomaster 1200 Capacitor change

4 replies
Good afternoon. I am hoping someone can help me. I have ordered a replacement capacitor kit for my Beomaster 1200 and I have changed all but 2. They are the two large capacitors shown in the images. I will be replacing them with the two capacitors that came with the kit. On the copper capacitor there is a +ve and -ve marking but on the white capacitor there arnt any markings. I did notice that on one of the terminals, it is indented (the right one) whereas the left one is just flat. Did I read somewhere that this means something? (Old Skool). Anyway, I am not sure what terminals the yellow or green wires should connect to on the new capacitor. Any help would be fantastic, Thanks in advance
UPDATE I found this image within the service manual. Green is labelled 'gr' with a negative symbol, and the other, labelled 'g' (I presume from the german word for yellow 'Gelb') with a +ve symbol   I guess this is it then Matt
On the grey capacitor it says "Plain negative". In other words, the tag with no mark on its rivet is the negative. Martin
Fantastic, that would for with the drawing, thanks for confirming. all the best
