I've been trying to find out what the heck are the values of the capacitors inside a GL or PL or any of the others. Or if anyone has an idea of how to read the marks on the capacitors. I've noted for example : Yellow, tan or pink?, orange, orange with a blue body.
The PL's problem is that I have to set the ISO to 25 just so I can shoot 400 ISO film.
Anyone know this problem well? |

Check this out? I found a conversation where someone recomends a value for the part you are looking for....

Yes, I've seen the mention of "Minox 35 GT, this is a 100uF 10V capacitor". Thanks. Did you notice there is no mention of which capacitor or how it is marked. The PL for example is different than the GL, but some capacitors looke the same with color stripes and so on. I've tried looking up the type of capacitor up and down the WWW, but few info out there. It is just as difficult to find the schematics of the circuits for each model. |

Reading the colours on capacitors is not easy. Try google and try "colour" and "color". I always would measure the capacitors, but then I never fixed electronics I just built a few items. See,
http://www.pmel.org/HandBook/HBpage26.htm
which is it pretty clear, but hardly complete. Note, often, you read from the end colour that is nearest to a terminal.
If there are two capacitors so marked, see if you can measure one to determine the value of the other.
BTW, why are you so sure this capacitor, (yellow, pink, orange, orange) is your problem? [rhetorical question. ]
Finally, unsolder the capacitor and take it to a good electronics supply house, and ask for "one of these".

Thanks for your suggestions.
My capacitor theory is a starting point.
I really don't know for sure.
Based on the mentioned symptoms do you have a
theory or solution? |
