i have a circuit board that appears to have had some mods done as
components do not match or blend with other components.
my concern for now is two polarized electrolytic caps that appear
to be used as "bypass caps" ??
i thought tantalum and ceramic were the best choice for bypass?
is this a problem ?
one is a electrolytic 1uF/50v polarized cap between 32v line to
Vcc2 on chip and 0v ref
32v dc ---- 36 ohm --|-- 1uF/50v (polar) (-) ---|
|

Vcc2
0v ref
and the other is an electrolytic 22 uF / 6.3v (polar) cap betweem
5v line to VCC on chip an 0v ref
any way i just recently read to use ceramic but i am wondering if
there is a reason one would want to use electrolytic ? or was
this just a dangerous amateur who did this ?
*OTHER Question *
there is a 36 Ohm 1/4 watt resistor ( orng blu blk gold )
between (inline with) the 32V supply volts to a Vcc2 pin on an
IC, what is reason to use this setup and could it be another
mistake made by previous repairer ?
thanks for any useful help,
