Silver Member Username: BobimpactDanbury, CT US Post Number: 208 Registered: May-06 | I had a customer come in two weeks ago with the same claim, I think it was some Tsunami piece that had "5,000K" written on it somewhere. He was absolutely convinced too, I even showed him was a single farad cap looked like, he said it was about the same size! Later that same day I had a completely different guy tell me that he was using his 12V cap in a 110V AC system. Some people really must think I'm a moron (must be my ravashing good looks, they look at me and say "He can't possible be that good looking AND smart!") |

Nobody comes here to ask about DD or Treo, they come here to ask about pyramid, audioBUM and sony after they buy the thing... |
New member Username: WhitewidowPost Number: 4 Registered: Oct-06 | A lot of capacitors i have seen actually have the measurement in microfarads (10^-6) so 500k = .5 farad... |
Bronze Member Username: Motomattic3Post Number: 11 Registered: Oct-06 | have you tried takeing the farad cap out and just connecting it direct to see if that clears up the problem |
