I'm thinking of recapping my JP-4...
I've already done the power supply, and solved the dodgy 'track crack' issue in the control boards. I also desoldered every fader, cleaned it out, re-tensioned it, rebuilt it and measured it again, before resoldering. Took ages, but thoroughly worth it.
What brand of caps did you use, if you don't mind me asking?
Jupiter-4 restoration... thoughts?

Re: Jupiter-4 restoration... thoughts?
I used a mix of Nichicon and Panasonic caps (FWIW most of the original caps in the JP-4 are Panasonic/Matsushita brand). For mine I splurged a bit and mostly used audio-grade caps, but regular general purpose caps work just fine.JFunc wrote:I'm thinking of recapping my JP-4...
