    Description

    Capacitor assemblies to replace Capacitor Technologies' 50/80 V dual capacitors in
    CARVER
    M-1.5, M-1.5T, PM-1.5 and PM-1200 amplifiers.  These assemblies have been custom designed for Carver 1.5 series amplifiers, and feature low ESR design, long life, compact size and precision-aligned pins for high performance and ease of installation.
    Features
    Custom designed for Carver 1.5 Series amplifiers (M-1.5, M-1.5t, PM-1.5).
    Each assembly replaces 2 original dual capacitors--only one assembly is needed for a M-1.5(T) or PM-1.5 amplifier.
    High quality custom PCB made from two sided FR-4 material.
    Highest quality capacitors are used in the assemblies. They are rated at 63 and 100 Volts, meaning that they will be operating well below their limits.  This results in significantly improved lifetimes for the parts.
    Compact design fits footprint of original parts--no additional wiring or component mounting is required!
    Low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) design for superior audio performance.
    Mounting pins are precision-aligned so assembly slides right into M-1.5(T) and PM-1.5 power supply board capacitor holes.
    Fits the Carver PM-1.5 and PM-1200 amplifiers with no modification.
    Assemblies measure 1.5" X 2.6" X 2.3"
    Complete installation instructions are included, sent as a PDF via e mail.
    Similar to Carver 602-00500-01 capacitor replacement board, which is no longer available.
    The original Capacitor Technologies' 50/80 V capacitors tend to be very failure-prone--the Achille's heel of an otherwise superb amplifier.  A bad filter cap can cause a low- to mid- frequency hum or distortion in the outputs.  A failed capacitor can also put the amp in protection mode, rendering it inoperable.  Generally, a bad filter cap will affect both channels equally.  Many people replace the Capacitor Technolgies parts as a preventative measure.
    Want even more performance? SUPER SIZE IT!
    Capacitor assemblies with Increased value capacitors (2200/4700 uF) are available

    The assemblies are brand new and will be shipped in protective packaging.   The listing is for the capacitor assemblies only, not the complete amplifier.
    The capacitors can be replaced by a person with intermediate to advanced soldering skills.  A soldering iron, solder wick and solder are needed to replace the part.  When you're done soldering, wash your hands because solder contains lead.  Please note that replacing the capacitors will fix the amplifier only if the capacitors were the problem to start with!
    STRONG WARNING!!!
    Carver amplifiers have high voltages of 120 VAC and +/- 125 VDC present during operation.  They have capacitors that can store potentially deadly charges for several minutes after power is disconnected from the amplifier.  Repairs to be made by qualified service personnel.  We do not want you to get hurt, and we don't want you to hack up these classic amps!!!  If you need assistance with a repair, we can do it at our facility, or refer you to another qualified repair facility.
