Mac Plus analog 4700 pF vs 2200 pF
Posted by: Mu0n on 2019-06-21 09:44:06
The Larry Pina guide says to use 4700 pF for C33 and C37 and that's what I've seen in someone's cap list. However, my board has 2200 pF (US version) caps. Can I still use the 4700?

I'd use what he specifies, but here's one question: are they not functioning? They are not electrolytic - if they are good, no need to replace them.

Mac Plus 1: 2200 pF. Runs fine.

Mac Plus 2: 4700 pF. Has bad set of ROM, but runs fine with #1's ROMs
