But I'm still suspicious because of the dual rubber plugs. I've used a few different off branded cheap caps and they all had the negative lead soldered to the housing. Has anyone taken this model apart?
Maybe it's a good idea to start using radial caps?
Contrare...some of those I found were indeed Weber labeled.
47uf/450V.
The TUNG branded from Weber are fine, the ELON were not.
The Rubycons were also OK.
I cut open some otherwise perfectly good caps looking but the telltale signs turned out to be either crimped on two ends or two plastic ends (or both).
All of the ones that had a standard crimped aluminum negative end were good.
And tolerances within 10%.
(Screwed up thing is...the fakes I have installed are running good and noiseless...only time will tell on those).
