[QUOTE="axtyr, post: 57733, member: 2282"] Joe. I downloaded the schematic some time ago but unless you have a background in electronics it is very difficult to follow precisely and know exactly where each component is on the boards. The values of the caps are there but not the voltages. This detector is now 19 years old and I have no idea what it has been subjected to, and I want to subject it to 8V. The dielectric inside all capacitors degrades over time so I would prefer to know that the caps are capable of taking the extra voltage. If I wasn't gong to increase the input voltage then I wouldn't bother replacing them. I am really trying to find out if some SD2000 users required some sort of maintenance and if so, what parts were replaced. I intend installing some mods myself and I only want to dismantle the unit once. At least I now know of one person who has had 15 years of use without any problems. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
