Mac Classic caps... mixed results?

Howdy!

I am going to be replacing the capacitors on my Mac Classic, however, I've ran into a few inconsistencies with a couple of online guides.

MacCaps recommends:

  • 7x 47µf 16V
  • 1x 1µf 16V
MyOldMac says to use:

  • 7x 47µf 16V
  • 1x 1µf 50V


Does anyone have their take on this? I've tried searching the forum but haven't found any related threads (yet!). Are there any sheets that have links to Mouser parts? I am new to restoration and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes :

 1x 1µf 50V is correct (not 16 v)

Yes, most old Macs with 1µf SM caps are 50V.
