Best thing is you talk to them... I had an issue with a kit and they solved it

The big cap is probably no longer available in this size.. Either drill new holes or keep the original (that‘s how I did it).

Big cap definitely doesn't fit, check JDW's recapping video for the Sony PSU at around 22:21 -

So recapped power supply. Someone said the 2200uf will work. Only get a bright spot in

ok, figured it all out. got machine up and running. pin 6 floppy 4.98 volts, pin 10 12.78volts. boots from floppy. if I put hard drive in, she won't boot from floppy, or it is taking really really long for some reason. hard drive connector. black and red gives me 12.78 volts, black and yellow gives me 5. is this all correct? why would would adding hard drive make floppy act that way?? voltage related??
