[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 439862, member: 4012"] Black with three legs is a [b]transistor[/b], not a capacitor, mate. Very different animal. If there's no writing on it to identify it, you may be out of luck unless a circuit diagram is available. FYI, I have highlighted visible transistors in your pic below (at least I think the group in the foreground are transistors - the pic is so out of focus that it's hard to be sure. The other one highlighted beside the two large, upright, blue, electrolytic capacitors, is definitely a transistor): [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4012/1537156326_transistors.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
