Hi;

I'm in the processs of replacing electro. caps in an old Roberts
Reel to Reel deck.

There are some questionable electro. caps that I'm trying to replace.
These are the old "can" style caps and the color codes are written in
Japanese (I believe) on the side of the can. There are 3 color dots;
yellow, white and red but I don't know which value they're supposed
to be as the sections all read low.

Can anyone tell from the side of the can what the designations are?
If so, please take a look at the picture on my site posted.

Go to http://babelfish.altavista.com and see if you can translate the
color of the dots from english to japanese.

Sparkey,

In your photo of the cap, note that the rating is 250 WV *AC*, as in
"alternating current."

try posting to soc.culture.japan
someone there might translate it well enough or know of a non-kanji
jp.electronics/sci/tec group
Post back here if you find a mor relevant group

What is the model number? Someone might have a manual.

Those are the motor run capacitors. There are two seperate
capacitors. "X" or "Y" type capacitors would be suitible replacements.

"1969". How's that for a plain-and-simple date code? Can't get much clearer
than that...

The ratings are right there in english as well, it's a 2 section cap
consisting of a 1uF and 2uF capacitor in the same can, both rated 250V
AC, so non-polar electrolytics. You can replace them with two separate
capacitors.

Did you miss the 1.0uF, 2.0uF and 250V in English ?

I imagine that's a motor run cap.

nothing to translate.
it's all there.
2.0 Uf 250 WV (working volts) AC (NON polarized)
if you ask me, it looks like a bellast cap/

Of course the OP can read the values of the capacitor's sections, but he needs
someone who can translate the colors of the dots, which will tell him which
terminal is the 1.0uF and which is the 2.0uF. The American-made multisection
can capacitors of days gone by had symbols (circle/semicircle/square/triangle
etc) to identify which terminals had what capacitance values. These Japanese
units used color dots to indicate which terminal was which. I tried to get
BabelFish and a shareware program called MultiTranse to translate the colors,
but didn't get anything near the symbols on the capacitor. Maybe I wasn't using
the right font/character set??? Don't know much about the Japanese language or
their symbology.
Maybe there is someone lurking in here that could translate the colors for the
OP??????

The 2.0uF would appear to be red - see

http://www.solon.org/cgi-bin/j-e/dosearch?L=E&T=red&I=on&IK=on

Maybe you can work out the 1u and common from that ?

Wow.. how did you find that site?? Good show!!!
If I read the symbols correctly, looks like the White dot is the 1uF terminal;
that leaves the Yellow as common. Hope that logic holds true.
Strangely, I didn't see any symbols that translated to yellow that looked even
remotely like the symbol for the common terminal.

Wouldn't the use of a simple cap meter sort this out?

It would, if the caps were not reading low, as the OP said in his first
post. If the 2u section has dropped below 1u, then it would be hard to
identify for sure, by this method. About the only possible hope would be
that both sections had gone low together, so the 1u section still read lower
than the 2u. It should be easy enough to work out which is the common
though, because with the common open, both caps are effectively in series,
so the cap meter lead combination that gives the lowest reading permed from
any two out of the three pins, shows the common pin to be the one that was
left open during that reading.

Does the motor it connects to have a wiring diagram on it? Many do, and
if not, he could ohm out the windings to figure out which way to connect it.
