Well that is very simple. Just look at the board and see what capacitor values are on it and write them down. :-) Seriously. The values are written down on them. Voltage doesn't have to match but the higher the better.

I have no idea if the different revisions of Amiga 1200 have different values and a different amount of capacitors. I know that is the case for Amiga 600 computers.

Yeah. I used normal radial capacitors in all my Amiga 4000 systems.

I will soon begin to check and replace all capacitors on Amiga 1200 motherboards also. The ones with green writing on it really are already dead. Those were some very bad capacitors. The black ones seem to hold out the longest and I suggest if you have a lot Amiga's to begin with the Amiga's which have green capacitors.

The brand I use is Yageo which is a good brand sold by for example Conrad.
