Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Discharging capacitors in your synths

2014-04-09 by Roger J

With the exception of memory caps, I can not think of one model that had a cap without a bleeder of one kind or another.  If you must, I would use a 100K ohm, or a older meter like the once state of art Simpson 240, then you could watch it bleed out.
