Description: Up for sale here is this set of 2 Nichicon VR capacitors. These are 6800 uf 50v capacitors, and are perfect replacements for the main filter capacitors in the Kenwood KA-3500 amplifier. These are a bit smaller than the original capacitors, but they are the same capacitance and slightly improved voltage, so they are great in the KA-3500. The original caps used three prongs for mounting, but the third one is not electrically connected, it is just a "dummy lug," for mounting stability. You can easily install these by looking at the polarity markings on the board or on the old capacitors, and you can see from the board underside which "dummy lug" hole you don't need to use--it's the one that is not electrically connected to anything. These have full-length wires, making it easy to mount them. These are extremely high-quality new capacitors and are the same ones I use when I rebuild vintage gear. They have mid-2020 production dates. Dimensions for these capacitors are 50.6mm tall and 22mm in diameter. Terminals are 11mm apart, and are 38mm long (positive) and 32mm long (negative). These are smaller than the old caps, due to improvements in design. Please see my pictures for details. A note about installation: Main filter capacitors are usually used to provide the positive and negative rails to the amplifier section, so one of them will appear to be wired backwards (with positive to chassis ground). This is normal. Before you replace your capacitors, take some clear pictures of the wiring so you will know how to connect the new ones. If your equipment starts blowing fuses after replacing the main filter capacitors, you probably wired one backwards. US shipping and handling is $5, and international is $18. If you have any questions, please ask. Looking for more parts? I have power switches, feet, pushbuttons, top case screws, bottom screws, faceplate screws, white LED fuse lamps, blue LED fuse lamps, 6.3v bi-pin bulbs, 8v bi-pin bulbs, 12v bi-pin bulbs, wired 8v 60ma bulbs, new power cords, new main capacitors for the Marantz 1060/2230, wired Pioneer speaker plug replacements, new 630v yellow film capacitors at 13 different values, a large variety of transistors for vintage stereo repair, and more. Just use "add to cart" on everything you want and then check out for combined shipping.
