I have a Sony wm-dd11 device that needs tantalum capacitor replacement and I was just wondering instead of buying one of those expensive capacitor kits on eBay, I should buy in bulk all of the values needed for this project and other projects that might crop up. What are the values of capacitors needed? In the expensive kits available on eBay, five are marked 220 10v, but the others are not visible. What are the values I need to buy in bulk?
I suggest looking at the pictures in this thread and the service manual. All the values of capacitors can be found in these pictures: https://stereo2go.com/forums/threads/sony-wm-ddi-sony-wm-dd10-differences-guide.7489/ Most are rated @4V and 6.3V rated ones will not fit in the tight space. Height should be no more than 5mm. If you are going to do a lot of walkman recapping, obviously buying at least 50 pcs of each of those values is a better idea. I think you can find all the values you need at Farnell UK. At the end of the day it depends how easy are those caps to find locally, because most of these 4V rated ones are relatively hard to find (especially here in Europe), in such case the kit being a much more convenient option.
