WHAT I CAN DO

1. Be sure that the replacement component has the same power rating and
resistance value. Its tolerance must be at least as good, and can be better.
2. Ensure that the replacement component has the same capacitance value as
that of the original, and that its tolerance is the same or better. The working
voltage rating must also be the same or better (greater).
3. The same considerations apply to other types of components (diodes, fuses,
speakers, etc.). In every case, it is necessary to proceed with caution, and to be
sure that the replacement is correctly rated.
4. Replacement should have the same turns ratio, voltage/current ratio and rating
as the original component. The power rating (VA) and frequency range are also
important.
5. Transistor substitution is fairly common, particularly with lower cost equipment. In
some case you may have a choice between a number of different transistors. At
other times the replacement must be exact.
