grigsby-g: Capacitor Bypass Block

The capacitor bypass block is not labeled at least not in any documentation that I can find.

It has 8 capacitors inside and has10 wires and 3 terminals.

I'm hoping someone can help me determine which wire/terminal belongs to which capacitor. I want to replace all of them. I have toyed with idea of taking the block out opening it up to see if each one is labled inside.

I'm attaching photos and a sketch I made showing where the wires/terminal go.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Jim

To thank the Author because you find the post helpful or well done.

All capacitors in the block are documented on the schematic. It should not be too difficult to identify each of them by comparing the schematic to the actual wiring under the chassis.

Usually, capacitors within a such block are not marked. It might however be possible to judge the capacitances relative to each other by looking at the physical size of each capacitor within the block.

The problem I'm facing is inexperience in reading schematics. I believe I have identified most of the capacitors by doing just what you said however replacing them outside the block presents another challenge for me.

Thank you very much for responding
