"Richey" blue capacitor on Mac SE Analog Board
Posted by: Gregory K on 2015-09-07 11:46:06
Dear forum members,

There is a blue capacitor made by Richey (10uF 160V, 85 degrees) on my Mac SE Analog Board. Does anyone know if it can be replaced by a regular capacitor, or there are some special requirements (low-esr, for example)? I think the choice of brand can reflect something.

Thank you!

yeah anything that is 85 degrees is usually nothing special anyways.
