Capacitor list available anywhere for Performa 475?
Posted by: matttintoshplus on 2023-05-03 14:25:13 I got a fully working Performa 475 and am planning on fully recapping it as a preventative measure. Is there a list available anywhere that has all the necessary capacitors for the motherboard and power supply? I am also considering leaving the computer alone since it works but it seems like it might be in my best interest to replace them all anyways.
Posted by: cheesestraws on 2023-05-03 14:28:32 You'll probably mostly find it filed as 'LC 475' or perhaps 'Quadra 605'. recapamac.au has a guide to the logic board here, for example: Macintosh LC475 & Quadra 605 - Recap-a-Mac The Macintosh LC475 (which is just a Quadra 605 in a slightly different case without a network card installed) took the 68040 CPU... recapamac.com.au

Also, is there a difference between the LC 475 and Performa 475? Or is it just two names for the same computer

Posted by: Phipli on 2023-05-04 04:47:20 And the only difference between a Quadra 605 and an LC 475 is a single jumper on the board that changes the model id the computer reports... And the case.
