Open Discussion / Help Identifying Parts

« on: November 22, 2013, 10:30:03 AM »

Hey Everyone,
     A while a go i salvaged some parts from a home theater receiver and these looked interesting. I was just wondering if anyone here might know what they are. The LED is there for size reference. Thanks in advance.

P.S. They came out of diode slots if that helps.

Hey Guys,
    After looking around on this forum I found a TON of good information. It actually helped me debug a Cave Dweller and a Cupcake. You guys were a huge help and i didn't even have to ask any questions. So, Thanks to: madbean, midwayfair, haberdasher, oldhousescott, gtr2, and jkokura. Thanks guys!!!

What ever happened with this? I just finished one (Cave Dweller) and I'm getting the same issue. I thought it was a crappy capacitor I had salvaged from another build but That wasn't it. I also tried changing these and it didn't help
-R1 changed to 15K (filter noise)
-R2 changed to 20K (filter Noise)
-C2 changed to 10nf (compensate for R1 & R2 change)
- I also replaced all the Resistors (originally used 1/4 watt) with 1/8 watt.
My next idea is to, I guess, try a different PT2399 chip. Stupidly I didn't socket it but lesson learned. Just wondering what your outcome was. Thanks in advance.
