Mac IIx Caps

Posted by: APPLEMANMAC1969 on 2014-11-10 12:33:34 Does anyone know of what caps are in a Mac IIx? Mine have no markings on them.

Posted by: uniserver on 2014-11-10 12:55:22 pretty sure all of the tin can's are 47uf 16v.

Posted by: uniserver on 2014-11-10 13:15:59 Yup, all the red arrows are 47uf 16v caps. Thanks to unity for the Cool Picture.

Posted by: uniserver on 2014-11-10 13:35:34 Just saw this picture, No idea why I thought its funny,

Posted by: APPLEMANMAC1969 on 2014-11-10 13:39:09 Thanks for the help. Got to love this forum.

Posted by: APPLEMANMAC1969 on 2014-11-11 18:19:00 Also what about the other caps(axial) Some of them have markings on them.Identifying what they are. The 2 axial caps in the upper LT of the pic don't have any markings on them.

Posted by: Unknown_K on 2014-11-11 18:47:34 I never bother to replace axial caps (they don't leak) unless they have a problem. I did recap all the metal ones on both my IIx systems when I got them.

Posted by: techknight on 2014-11-11 18:55:42 I replace them. because they do go bad, and i have seen them leak before. Just not in a IIx, as ive never seen a IIx.  but i had to change half a dozen in an oscilloscope once for leaking.

Posted by: APPLEMANMAC1969 on 2014-11-11 19:56:52 I would like to replace them but I cant see what the rating is on them. I know three of them are 470uf 16volt.The other two I cant see what they are.

Posted by: uniserver on 2014-11-11 21:16:23 the blue one is a 220uf 16v the yellow one is a 10uf 16v
