[NTLK] MP2100 repair, help needed

[SonyTEL]

Thanks for this interesting information. So this model:

https://www.amazon.fr/QUARKZMAN-Condensateur-Resistance-Electroniques-Intelligent/dp/B0FXXM6RJD/ref=sr_1_1

It's sold in pairs here.
It lists a diameter of 12 mm and a height of 9.5 mm.

Thank you very much.

Sony

> I bought a Lumonic Supercap 0.33F 5.5V H-Type (very important the H type, it’s the one that can be soldered flat, having the leads on the top and bottom of the capacitor, facing opposite one another). If you are in Europe, it costs about 5€ including shipping on ebay. I don’t know about USA or other countries, but it should be the same.
