Default Re: Grundig TK20 and Truvox R82. Help Required Please.

If still original part then most likely will be a metal can capacitor. I see Terry that you posted the schematic in 2013.

Looking at the schematic you will see that C37 is 32uF, this is the filter capacitor after the reservoir capacitor C38, also 32uF, so quite possibly a dual can capacitor. The first smoothing capacitor after C37 is C33 also 32uF, so it is possible that it is a triple 32uF can capacitor.

The Service manual only has an abbreviated spares listing and these capacitors are not listed, so you will need to check out exactly what capacitor (s) are fitted.

These type of capacitors can hold a significant charge after being powered off, so always allow at least 15 minutes (and disconnect the mains cable from the wall outlet) after power down to allow them to discharge before doing any replacement work.
