That's the issue I'm finding now. One cap in there is 50 microfarad at 25 volts and the others are 25 microfarad at 16 volt. But when I look at the schematics some of them are showing a pair of 10 microfarad on those positions and some schematics are showing a pair of twenties. So I ordered a couple of 22s and a 47, all three of them at 35 volts.
Hi.. Just a thought .. I recently 1 rebuilt 3 ssk 1 CS1 and a plus 3b.. Ises audio quality caps that were close to the value of the originals.. Replaced the carbon resistors with metal film... Mad a huge difference in sound on all mics.. Just for kicks I replaced the mic elements with condenser elements.. All mics sound great.. More sensitive and louder but very clear.. Found a assortment of audio caps and resistors on Amazon .. And the condenser mod found on ebay.. . Getting nice complements on my audio on both am and ssb..
Once you changed the element it is no longer a true SSK CS1 or Plus 3.Hi.. Just a thought .. I recently 1 rebuilt 3 ssk 1 CS1 and a plus 3b..

This is true.. I got these used in a lot all had problems .. And realy beat up.. Rebuilding them all including new wireing helped greatly ..3 had bad elements .. Worked but mufcl9 n fussy. I'll b using these for my personal use or to give to family and friends that are getting back into cb.. While not original still working great.. I saved the good original elements for future use or if someone needs.. I also have 3 plus 2 ssb given to me in parts all missing elements .. Or amps and relays.. Going to see if I can get at least 2 of them working .. Future project
I ordered a couple times from Klondike Mike's.. It took a little while to get here but got quality caps ..forva couple mics and radios
Unless you're ordering caps in bulk Klondike Mike's kits are probably the best way to go. I've made the mistake of ordering a kit from another vendor and what I got was... not good.
