Unknow MKL capacitor
« on: January 09, 2011, 08:34:29 AM »

Hi, I don't know what kind of capacitor this is and what replacement could be fine for these MKL. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!index.php/fa/16128/0/

The printing in the shadow of that wire on the left seems to say '1M 100V',

so you appear to have a 1 microfarad capacitor that is rated at 100 volts.

The other numbers look like date codes and manufacturer's part number.

The capacitor on the right seems to have different part numbers. '2/60' might give value and rating, but could also be a date code. Can you see anything on the other side of it that looks similar to the markings on the other cap?

Others might chime in with greater knowledge of these.

Is this a Siemens/Klangfilm unit?

Thanks for your answer,yes you're right that's a klangfilm unit!
I wonder if this one is simple electrolytic,
I don't know which cap would be a nice replacement, it seems that these MKL are high quality caps. Thanks!

I don't believe that this capacitor is electrolytic (it's pretty big for 1u/100V btw), and if I remember well that type can be easily an old Siemens-Halske polypropylene.... but im not sure.
If someone has catalogue for old Siemens caps there is a possibility to get precise specifications because is mfg. code is easily readable from picture. (B 32 110 and B 32 120)

Google shows some talk of these being cellulose acetate - either way, they are surely film caps, not electrolytics - and definitely Siemens.

Peter van Willenswaard (Dutch valve guru and 1/4 of Grimm Audio) was here today. He had some caps with him that looked like these, and he said they were paper in oil.
