I picked up a pair of Gollehorn PA bins, and I need to repalce a capacitor in one of the cross over units... 9 uf 70v AC is what appears to be the type of capacitor... I'm told it's BI-POLAR, or Non polarized (means same thing no ?) Anyone know if I could put something like a 10uf in there, or do I have to get an exact match ? My brother-inlaw told me to check on Electro-litic capacitors, see if I could possibly use one of them.. Anyhelp / information would be a big help! /Ray

You can put a 10-uf cap in there, but you have to put a "non-polarized" one in. The voltage rating must be at least the value or greater. You could probably call it bi-polar, but the common term that I know is just non- polarized. As far as sound goes, you will probably not hear any difference in the sound between the two cap values. Like the difference between a .005uf and a .0047uf... depending on what it's used for, it wouldn't make a difference. Radio Shack, U-Do-It, Digi-Key, or Active Electronics should have something. /J | |||||

Sometimes the non-polarized caps are difficult to locate. If you have trouble locating the crossover cap locally, give New England speaker repair a call. They have all that stuff. They are located on rt-28 in Stoneham but they'll UPS you just about anything on the same day you call. (617) 438-1786 NE Speaker Repair Frank | |||||
