Fat Green Capacitor Replacement
Moderator:Moderators
Hello,
I broke another fat green capacitor. Is there something at radio shack that can serve as a replacement? I thought I read about it once on these boards, but I couldn't find it through search. Thanks.

Here's what you need (from here)
Do what spoungebuell says.

Wire them in parallel (not series) keeping the long and short wires together. When you wire it to the board, make sure the short wire is the one that is connected to the ground.
vb_master,
Sorry for the crude drawing, but would that look similar to this?

Okay,
I ran to "The Shack" today & got my two replacement capacitors. Now, before I install them, I just want to make sure I have the right idea (I hate to use the word, but I'm a word that rhymes with hoob).Just take 1 .047uF & 1 .022uF and just hold their leads together & solder them together to the appriopriate spot on my paddle controller? Kind of like pretending it's only 1 bigger capacitor? Thanks
