Hello everyone. I own an Apple IIGS and today the capacitors in the PSU decided to fail. The only capacitors that seem to have failed are the RIFA filter capacitors but I would like to re-cap the entire board just to be safe. I don't have very much experience with different capacitor types and brands and would like some suggestions on replacement capacitors. Are there some manufacturers that I should stay away from? What form factor capacitors should I replace the RIFA caps with? I'm pretty sure I know what electrolytic capacitors to get but I don't know what the best manufacturer to go with would be. I don't have the exact measurements of the capacitors with me at the moment but I did make a list of capacitors that need to be replaced:
Code:
2x 0.22uF 250V (RIFA filter capacitors.)
2x 4700pF 250V (Small RIFA capacitors near the fuse on the board.)
2x 100uF 200V (Electrolytic capacitors near the main transformer.)
3x 1000uF 10V (Electrolytic capacitors.)
2x 330uF 35V (Electrolytic capacitors.)
2x 330uF 25V (Small electrolytic capacitors near the other 5 electrolytics. I'm not sure that they need to be replaced.)
