| capacitor kit for compact Mac | |
| Posted by: mloret on 2022-05-02 02:47:55 Anyone have a spare capacitor kit for a compact Mac that they'd be willing to part with? | |
Posted by: MacKilRoy on 2022-05-02 05:37:03Anyone have a spare capacitor kit for a compact Mac that they'd be willing to part with?If I’m not mistaken, different “compact Mac’s” require different caps. Also, whether you need analog or logic board caps. What machine is it for and where are you located? | |
| Posted by: mloret on 2022-05-02 05:38:12 Yes you're right. I need a kit for an analog board for a Mac 512k. | |

When I did my SE analog board, I did it the old school way, wrote down all the values and looked up the nichicon series I wanted on digikey. Quite time consuming but Digikey will ship however you want. Sorry USPS sucks so bad in your area... maybe reach out and see if he can do a UPS as an exception for you? | |
| Posted by: mloret on 2022-05-02 09:31:20 You won't believe this but the same thing happened with UPS! I imagine there are going to be scores of caps out there in the mail system that will arrive at my door in 3-6 months! | |

I imagine there are going to be scores of caps out there in the mail system that will arrive at my door in 3-6 months!One can only hope. One year I ordered a record from the UK in early September. (normal for me, was DJing a lot at the time). At the time 4 to 6 weeks tops was normal for Royal mail to USPS. It showed up Christmas eve with a sticker literally labeled "mis-sent to Australia" 😆 | |
| Posted by: mloret on 2022-05-02 10:39:55 Yeah. USPS didn't fill me with confidence, that's why I figured I'd try UPS. Nope. Wish I could rely on Amazon slave labor to get the package to my door. 🤫 | |
