Just replacing the capacitors on the turn table motor of my D33A and was just wondering if I have the reading and convertion right I think the big one is 1.1mf and the little one 0.2mf does thisconvert to 1.1mf = 1100μF 0.2mf = 200μF |

1.1mF will be 1.1μF in today's units. So 0.2mF will be 0.2μF (or 200nF). |

Yes they are the wax coated ones thanks for the advice I will go the parallel option as 1.1μF is an unusual value and had to find  |
