Sharp VZ resto question

[doublecee]

Hi

I got this unit from Japan and whilst it was in good condition, operationally it was flawed.

After trawling YouTube for some guidance I decided to jump in. I service all my Walkman collection so am happy to say that I was only too happy to get started.

The usual stuff. New belts, pinch rollers, speed adjust, head alignment, cosmetic refresh, remove old grease, apply new grease, turntable overhaul.

However I noticed two leaky caps and wanted to ask what they serve. Both are 100uf 16volt. On the cassette play/rec board.

She’s now really singing and dancing but curious as to what purpose those two caps satisfy.

Great job and well worth the effort.
If you take a look at the service manual you can identify where those caps sit and what their purpose is.

I agree awesome restoration job!! These can be a little tricky. As far as capacitors are there to hold the electrical energy until it’s needed by circuit as main function

That is awesome. Got to be one of the coolest BB's out there. I would think that would garner alot of attention in public thats for sure.
