Title: Fender Capacitor Identification
Post by: MoparWade on February 04, 2016, 04:04:16 pm

I am reading through the list of components for the 65' Twin Reverb Reissue and despite the index at the top defining what letter codes mean what they have used two capacitor codes I cannot make much sense of. The two codes are:

CAPRE
and
CAPRF

I can see that the CAPRE are polarized capacitors but beyond that I don't know what else that means. The CAPRF I have no idea. If someone knows what type of capacitors I need for those it would be very much appreciated!

The CAPRF I have no idea.

That means nothing to me either. The important info is the voltage ratings and the capacitance values given in columns 4 and 5. And physical size and form are important if you are replacing caps on a pcb.

Thanks. That is kind of what I was thinking was the case but wanted to make sure.

Based on the voltage ratings, I'm guessing the "E" stands for electrolytic and the "F" stands for film.
Maybe the "R" is for radial. (instead of Axial)

And CAP, well, that's obvious.

That actually makes sense octal.
