Anyone have a spare capacitor kit for a compact Mac that they'd be willing to part with?

If I’m not mistaken, different “compact Mac’s” require different caps. Also, whether you need analog or logic board caps.

What machine is it for and where are you located?

When I get kits I order them here, used to be local to me before I moved away from Central MI

Hey! Yes, I have ordered several kits from there. I love them, but my shipments keep getting lost. I was hoping for another option.

Aw man that sucks.

When I did my SE analog board, I did it the old school way, wrote down all the values and looked up the nichicon series I wanted on digikey. Quite time consuming but Digikey will ship however you want.

Sorry USPS sucks so bad in your area... maybe reach out and see if he can do a UPS as an exception for you?

You won't believe this but the same thing happened with UPS! I imagine there are going to be scores of caps out there in the mail system that will arrive at my door in 3-6 months!

One can only hope.

One year I ordered a record from the UK in early September. (normal for me, was DJing a lot at the time). At the time 4 to 6 weeks tops was normal for Royal mail to USPS.

It showed up Christmas eve with a sticker literally labeled "mis-sent to Australia" 😆

Yeah. USPS didn't fill me with confidence, that's why I figured I'd try UPS. Nope. Wish I could rely on Amazon slave labor to get the package to my door. 🤫
