I'm replacing a broken capacitor in my Kay Vanguard and I don't know what kind I need. The broken capacitor doesn't seem to be the original capacitor, it has solder on it like someone tried to fix it (and did a horrid job of it). Here are some pics;
I looked at the capacitor listings in a Stewart McDonald catalog and it says that the different ratings are used for different things, and I'm not sure if this capacitor (which is around .1 microfarad) is what they originally used in these guitars. Since I'm replacing the capacitor, does it affect the value (or more of what I'm concerned about, the sound of the guitar) if I don't use a vintage capacitor? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
