Does anyone here do recapping ? Performa 460 power supply

[Dj Mike]

Hey, I have 2 Macintosh Performa 460's. (or LCIII - Same machine internally) .

One has a dead power supply and the other just had a working power supply until earlier this weekend.
Does anyone here do rebuild or re capping of power supplies ?

Although Im a novice with a soldering gun and probably could do the work I have no idea of what components or their electrical value to replace.

Thanks in advance.

Mike.

Welcome to the forum @Dj Mike !

There are a number of groups that do recapping. Depending on where you live, some options are:
1) Recap-a-Mac (Australia)
2) Amiga of Rochester (New York, USA)
3) Bonus Life Computers (Chicagoland, USA)
If anyone else has folks that they have dealt with, please add to the list.

For reference for needed capacitors, there are a number of sources.
1) Console5 (capacitor kits for vintage machines)
2) Tech Tangents Capacitor Wiki
3) Mac84's Power Supply Recapping Guide

There are also various folks on the forum that have helped other members with recapping, in the past.

1) Recap-a-Mac (Australia)

Bruce cancelled his service earlier this year, apparently it had been getting to be too much for him, which is something I've seen happen a lot unfortunately.

Termination of recapping services - Recap-a-Mac

It is with much sadness that I announce I will no longer be offering recapping services, except by prior arrangement. I am self-employed,...

I've recapped dozens and dozens of old Macintosh machines, if you need something recapped.
