Advice on ARP Odyssey Mk1 power supply capacitors

2008-11-19 by jeffbmoore_2000

Hi,
I would like to replace the aluminum electrolytic capacitors on the 
power supply board of my white face MkI ARP Odyssey. The service manual 
calls for 250uf 50V, but the synth currently has 150uf 50V caps (blue 
Spragues). Any suggestions on which caps to use?
Also - any thoughts on whether to use tantalums to replace the old 
tantalums, or to use aluminum electrolytics instead? Cost isn't really 
an issue.
Thanks in advance!
Jeff
