50 Meg. What unit. Might be a 50M resistor but capacitors have units like uF, pF. A real big cap might have a value of 47,000UF or 56,000UF. It will cost you $20-$50 or so but you can get them from any electronics store. Try www.digikey.com or www.mouser.com and make sure you get the same voltage rating.

A 50M resistor is a $0.25 part from any electronics store including radio shack or use five 10M resistors in series

I have an older Amana EAC 1 electronic air cleaner boy does it work
good or at least used to I need to replace a high output 50 meg
capactior on the device adn can not find where to go . Amana nowmatag
does not know anything about it cna anyone help???

If you know what the problem is, maybe the guys at Radio Shack can help, or the local radio/TV repair guy.




Hi,
Large capacitance is not a problem, high voltage rating might be.
Neg. ion generators use HV.
