Does anyone have a list for the Astec PSU in my Performa 600? It's an Astec AA16870. Please point me to it if you can!

Anyone? Anyone? I could use this as well, although in about a week or two I will be starting to put together my own list. (I've already started, but only the easy ones that you don't have to remove or need a microscope to suss out).

I would much rather order the caps in advance than leave my half disassembled power supply laying about for weeks while I get the caps removed, tabulated, ordered, and received, which gives me ample opportunity to forget how what went where - don't say photos and or diagrams, because not all of them are visible and by the time they are removed, the writing on some is no longer legible (the writing on some of the smaller ones never are).
Although, something similar to the excellent documentation listed in this thread would be appreciated!

Sort of.
Unlike some on here who have posted excellent lists of the required caps, dimensions, locations for a project, I don't have all of that put together for this power supply.
What I do have is a couple of digital pictures that I took (not that great and missing lots of additional details - I used the original caps to check values after they were removed) and my note card that I worked from. I already had some caps around and sourced others from a couple locations, so I don't have a nice Mouser or Digikey list either.
Basically - I can share my list that gave me a re-capped AA16870, but please don't beat me up too badly over my format - it was for my own personal use.
