Any recommendations for a replacement RIFA cap for a mac 128k?
Thanks.

Any X2 or Y2 rated capacitor should work as a replacement for the rifa

I believe the 128k needs 4700pf capacitors (if it's international that is). I used 4700pf ones from RIFA (now Kemet), as they were exact replacements. There is a larger RIFA, but sometimes it's a red cap which doesn't need replacement.
