I'm not sure if it needs a recap, but I have a cheap parts unit, all the tools, and the capacitors themselves are cheap.
The unit is from 2003 so about 20 years old, made by Harman Becker according to the PCB, Harman Kardon according to BMW's marketing.
The issue is I can't find the capacitors.
They're all rated for 105°C.
I'm seeing "SXE", "LXY", one Rubycon, and a whole bunch of "KME" which I believe is United Chemi-Con but no longer manufactured.
It's one of the most beautiful PCBs I've ever seen. The glue has held up beautifully, the case is some like forged powder coated steel. It's so good. So so good.
Anyway, I have two approaches I feel I can take. 1. find a cross referenced matching capacitor (I'm not sure how). 2. Find capacitors that meet the known spec with everything turned up to 11 (low leakage, low ESR, highest life rating, most expensive, etc.)
Help with this would be appreciated!
