Replacement Cap List for SE/30?
Posted by: EvieSigma on 2016-10-20 18:05:28
I just ordered one of this guy's two SE/30s (made an offer for $55 so I didn't even have to pay full price!):

I'm 90% sure the horizontal jail bars means a recap is needed. However, I was thinking of saving some time on actually getting the recapping done by ordering the caps myself, so that I can send the two boards with the caps and get them back faster. My question is...what caps do I need, and where can I get them? There's a still-open Radio Shack not far from here so I might be able to get some of them in person...

Thanks, that's half of the problem solved!

Does anyone know a good place to buy capacitors? Radio Shack didn't have any.

Local electronics shops in my area have all dried up.  member trag here on the site as well as several other members sell kits for a good price.  Check the trading post.  Other than that, online there's digikey, mouser, and the likes.  And if you're feeling gutsy, eBay.

Only question was:

Did it come with an expansion card? Since there were 2, I assume that only one had a card.

That I won't know until it gets here, the auction didn't specify which one of the two you'd be getting.
