Hi y'all, where do I go to buy the caps and resistors for my vintage monitor 10a? I want sonicap caps and mills resistors. For the caps, I went to "sonic craft" they had some sonicap caps but not in the values I needed. Also, do I want gen 1, gen 2 or platinum? For the resistors I went to parts express and parts connexion but again, they had some mills resistors, but not in the values that I need. Finally, am I correct in what I need: a 2.5 ohm 5 watt resistor, a 2.7 ohm 5 watt resistor, two 12 uF caps and a 34 uF cap? Thanks

    Sonicraft has those exact values.

    Ok, yes I apologize, I see now that sonicraft has the sonicap gen 1 in those vales. Now, They have the 2.5 ohm 5 watt mills resistor but not the 2.7 ohm 5 watt resistor that I can see. Still need someone to chime in and tell me if those indeed are the correct values that I need for monitor 10a. Thanks

    Actually, parts connexion may have the mills resistors, it was just difficult to read the values at first- they have them coded with letters. I may call Polk and see if they can tell me the correct values for these things I need.

    You can use the 10 or 12 watt Mills or Vishay/Mills. Both are better than the 5 watt sandcast resistors you have now

    There's a stickie at the top of this section that should give you the values that you need. Courtesy of Polk Audio.

    Thanks, I just looked inside and they are indeed all the values that I thought they were. Though, I was told I would have to be creative fitting the sonicaps in there because they are much bigger than the originals. I wonder if there are any relatively good caps nowadays that are smaller, that would fit better?

    If you are not going to spend the money to do them right, don't bother.

    You can pick up a little bit of room if you mount the resistors on the bottom of the board. You may have to get a little creative.04ushpfonn7f.jpg

    Ok, I'll go with the good sonicaps and make them fit somehow.
