DigiKey Capacitor Cart for Compact Mac Recap
Posted by: Bertan on 2026-10-02 21:23:13
Hi! First post here, though been appreciating this site for a while 🙂

Based on JDW's capacitor lists on his video descriptions, I made a DigiKey cart with more up to date availability and longer rated life. I just finished recapping my first Mac successfully, and wanted to share the list with anyone who might find it useful 🙂
It inclused capacitors for
  • US analog board in 128K/512K/512Ke/Plus
  • Logic board capacitors for the Macintosh Plus
  • Mitsumi Mac Plus Keyboard (one with 2 axial caps)
Please do read the notes I left on some components on the list, as some capacitors on the list also include duplicates as alternatives. You probably don't want to purchase all of them! Namely, I put JDW's axial tantalum capacitor suggestions for the logic board, but I went for radial electrolytic ones since they are much cheaper. I also added refs to the list so they ship in separate bags with capacitor numbers printed on them.

Please let me know if you have any feedback or spot any mistakes! Cheers!
