Re: Xpander recap strategy
|
Doing a recap feels like you're doing something, but does it solve an actual problem?
If you have the experience (and the tools) the risk of a recap is probably not that big, it's just tedious. But the OP is asking how to approach this so that suggests they don't have the experience. Then why take a risk doing surgery on a rare and valuable piece like an Xpander?

Hi !
I also collected a pack of caps, but never used up to now.
I had a failing voice (#5) some time ago and thought it needs a new CEM
3372 and a re-cap, but it wasn?t.
At the end of the day it was simply and unexpected ... a resistor which
had to be replaced.
I bought my Xpander new late 1986 and technically it works like day ONE.
The only parts which urgently needed to be replaced were one of the 3372
already in the 90s and later,- the push buttons.
My Xpander has still the original rotarys.
I collected the Syntaur set of rotarys, but never needed to replace up
to now.
The original displays work too.
IIRC,? some PSU caps came new though ...
Maybe I have luck w/ my toy,- but I?d never go and re-cap a working machine.
When something fails, do a repair after painstakingly investigating for
the true failure.
New caps aren?t the solution always.
