It is metallized Polypropylene (MKP) so is good. It has a max DC continuous voltage rating of 1,500V, so is good, these capacitors in this application are often rated at 1,000VDC. Technically this Epcos capacitor is a safety suppression capacitor that normally is used connected across mains voltage but is fine to use here. David |

Re: HMV Reel to Reel Tape Deck 2210 (actually 2208)
It seems that there is a Manual for the HMV 2208 on this site, can anyone show me how to get it.

Re: HMV Reel to Reel Tape Deck 2210 (actually 2208)
Note that you will need two service manuals to cover fully this tape recorder:
The electronic part, which is for the specific HMV model 2208 (including casing parts, specifications, electrical adjustments, brief circuit description, circuit diagram , electrical parts layouts and electrical parts list) and the Thorn DC43 tape deck manual, for the mechanical part (including exploded view diagrams, mechanical parts list, lubrication, mechanical tests and adjustments). Note that many Thorn group brands/models used this combination of DC43 deck and electronics. The differences between models was cosmetic in the main. |

Sorry for late question , I work away quite a lot . Any chance you could source a Capacitor as you mentioned in quote, I don't seem to be able to find one. Cheers Spike |

Re: Replacement Cap
I recently purchased some 3300pf 300v 20% polypropyline capacitors from Farnell on order code 2478390. I got them with a view to using them in my second TMB272, although I've not started that job yet. These capacitors are a rectangular package with both legs coming out underneath. They are not axial round body style and measure approx 12.5mm x 9mm x 4mm, if that helps.

A bit of information about your tape recorder (HMV brochure dated December 1966 - cost at today's prices - just under £900):

Re: HMV Reel to Reel Tape Deck 2210 (actually 2208)
I would use this capacitor - should be future proof

Re: Replacement Cap
300v AC will really need a 500V+ DC rating.
Axial lead? https://uk.farnell.com/vishay/mkp183...-pp/dp/2470600 |

Re: Replacement Cap
Um, if it's AC rated, where is it located and what's it doing? it may need to have X or Y safety ratings.
