| Macintosh Plus issues with analogue board | |

| Posted by: Maccollector on 2025-12-16 00:25:37 Are these Y2 rifas? I believe X2 rifas are thicker ones  | |
| Posted by: Maccollector on 2025-12-16 00:38:43 Oh and I found 3rd one...C37. that must be X2 rifa | |

| Posted by: Byrd on 2025-12-19 15:52:58 Anything, I wouldn't buy it. Later universal analogue boards are interchangeable between 120 - 240V with a jumper essentially. Also keep a look out for a junk 512/Plus unit for parts. | |

A 120V unit was brought over to Europe and plugged into 230V. If I remember correctly, it blew one of the 100uF 200V caps and a fuse. So after 5$ of parts, it was all happy again (with step-down transformer of course). I did end up replacing both 100uF 200V caps and RIFA caps. | |
