I have a sample size of 1. However my PG506 cant quite get the diode to trip
so I have to use the 106. The 106 is a wonderful unit but it runs HOT watch
the venting on the sides so it doesn¡¯t over heat. Now you just need a 191
and a 184.
I already have a 184, which I actually just recapped after it started acting very funny.
(A little parentheses on this. It turns out both the 700uF and the 2000uF read 0 on the cap meter! The 700uF was even actually physically leaking stuff that, oddly enough, smelled very much like camphor or something, and was brownish sticky looking... out of the 2x47uF in parallel, one read zilch, and the other one read ok. Hummm..
Everything is good now. Maybe I should recap it entirely...)
I also have a SG503. ¡°Maybe¡± I¡¯ll grab a 191 someday if I can find one at a decent and reasonable price.
