Amiga Capacitor change
« on: August 24, 2010, 12:38:04 AM »
I own a few models,and i being reading alot about the capacitors of death,so i would advise anyone getting into scene stick to emulation so you wont have to worry about leaky caps :lol,have some questions-

1-If money was no object,what would be best type capacitor for job,i mean if i wanted to go on a overkill so i wouldn't have to tackle this job again?.

2-15w soldering iron would be the best option?

3-Any other advice :)

Thank you all for your replys,im slowly getting around to doing this job *bills had to be paid agggggggh*so onto caps order,do i need to make note of resistance etc on ordering capicators,i found guide here on eab with the caps and voltage required

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=44138

which i take note and order with elfa but met with other options for my selection,should i just pick the voltages as pointed out in the thread and not bother with other key selections such as Equivalent series resistance Max. ripple current    ΓΈ D?
