MegaStrobe DMX Question

Former Member

I purchased a broken 750W Mega Strobe DMX (Model SP-750) on EBay for cheap. I obtained the schematic from the service department when I purchased a replacement bulb. I finally got around to trouble shooting the circuit and found some weird stuff. It appears that someone attempted to repair the strobe using the wrong parts. Can you verify the following component values?

C9 is a 100 uF / 250V capacitor
C20 is a 220 uF / 250V capacitor
C21 is a 470 uF / 250V capacitor

This is what I expected to find. Instead I found that C9 is 0.1uF, C20 is 0.22uF, and C21 is 0.47uF! I thought they may have been mismarked, but I pulled these components and measured them and they are incorrect.

Before I go purchase replacement caps, I wanted to check with the service department to verify the correct values.

Thanks,

Mike

My mistake... I misread the schematic. They are supposed to be the values as measured.
