Default Re: Truvox PD-95 R2R Check Out

I see from the Series 90 schematic and motor wiring diagram that the capstan motor run capacitor is shown as 2uF and run capacitor for the reel motors is shown as 2.7uF

Both on my PD-95 are 2uF, on my PD-99 the capstan motor is 2uF and the reel motors is 2.7uF (so the PD-99 matches the schematic).

So it looks like the reel motor run capacitor on the PD-95 is incorrect value, maybe it has been previously replaced or maybe originally built with incorrect value, the capacitor is the same Plessey capacitor as the other 2uFs

Whether this will make any difference to the fast wind performance, I am unsure.
