Hantarex MTC 9000 width problem
grantspain:
that a 9000 clone, looks like a vi2000 shefras remake
the cap that is bulged is the cap that causes that width fault

That's brilliant, I don't suppose you know the value of this C42 cap do you? Will it be the same as the Hantarex MTC 9000 equivalent cap C42 which is listed as a normal polarized radial electrolytic 4.7MF 50V, I'm guessing MF is just micro farad and not Mega farad (not sure why there capitalised). do i need a certain type of cap low ESR or anything and what temperature rating, will any brand do or do you reccomend a certain manufacturer? (I'm in the U.K. and normally ordr from ebay) sorry for all the questions, i'm fairly new to electronics in general and this HV monitor stuff scares me, I don't really want to discharge the monitor again until I have a new cap to replace it with.
Also is there a manual for this chassis? I did a quick search for Vi2000 but i only found a sound effect device of the same name, is shefra the manufacturer? I did see something calling it an AC&G but still cant find much info on that either.
Thanks again for your help so far, much appreciated :-)
Chris.

pretty sure its identical to 9000 apart from component numbers
so that cap will be a 4.7uf 50v, can't remember if that chassis used polarised or not - just remove and take a look. later 9000 used a polypropelene axial 63v 4.7uf which is bipolar
I use rs components and cricklewood electronics, some ebay sellers in the uk are good like semtech and dmcomponents
shefras were a parts company in the uk that operated until early 90's

Hi,
My replacement 4.7uf 50v 105°C cap arrived today, I have used D & M components before so ordered from them, the guy said the brand is Yaego, are they any good? also the cap is a lot smaller than the cap it's replacing, does that matter? I cant see if the old cap is a bipolar or regular polarised untill I remove it, the manual doesn't mention polarised so hoping it isn't, I will double check once removed.
Regards,
Chris.
