For what it's worth, I spent about a half hour last night, replacing all of the caps, and the power supply works 100% now.  Installed it into my 1000, and I was playing .mods deep into the night.  Huzzah.

My only note to people who decide to do this;

The one large capacitor, the 200v one, be sure to try to get one that's wide-and-short, rather than a thin-and-tall, because there is limited clearance inside the power supply case.  I got a tall one, and had to have it mounted almost horizontal to allow it to fit inside there.  oops!

Next up is replacing the caps on the mainboard and daughterboard... but there's no need to post updates about that. ;)


thanks for the info! I've replaced caps in my A4000 and A1200 but my A1000 has been running steady since 1986 but alas as you also found out even the mighty Amiga 1000 will eventually need all the caps replaced so thanks for the reminder:hammer:;)

@ Acill

unless i can find someone in Canada, I'll be sending my A1k boards and PSU to you to get capped
