Accurate Low Amp Current Probe Advice
Martin72:
I have now opened my TM502 after all.
The capacitors are still the original Sprague ones, date code 1987...
2 x 4700µF and one 18000µF. They obviously wanted to be on the safe side and didn't want to install too little. ;)
And while I was at it, I also opened the AM503 A, where all the capacitors are still original too.
KungFuJosh:
I bet those Sprague caps are worth some money! 😉
I think my 503B might have been all original on the caps too? I assumed the blue Nichicon caps were newer than the other caps (and also because a lot of manufacturers will use only the same brand for consistency), but maybe not.

You can actually always see that at the solder joints.
You can solder as well as possible, hand soldering always differs from those “professional” from the soldering machine.

I know, but I assumed when I saw the different brand of caps, so I didn't pay any attention when I replaced them. Oh well. 🤷

The electrolytic capacitors in my 503 module are all from Nichicon.
