Macintosh plus replacment capacitors
Posted by: Muz_ on 2024-09-23 23:20:12
Hi there just a quick question. I have recently got a macintosh plus. I live in the UK and after the computer has been turned on for a bit my rcd trips so my guess is that there is a rifa gone bad. So I looked at a farnell UK and found some capacitors so I was wondering if you could tell me the capacitors I picked are suitable.

Don't use those, the datasheet says "Not suitable for "across the line" applications". You need to match the safety ratings on the caps - so replace class X with class X and class Y with class Y.

I may have some spares suitable I can post you but I can't remember what the specs are. Can you send me a photo of the writing on the caps that are already on the board?

im over in ireland and just recapped a mac plus analog board and logic board using the recap kit from console 5 - they have the kits for 110 volt and 240 volt ( international ) boards - its the best option - at least you know you are using the correct caps - https://console5.com/store/macintos...ional-pcb-cap-kit-630-0108-630-0122-240v.html
