I have finally placed my order of caps, after ordering I noticed some of the logic board caps are described as follows: Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors - SMD Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors - SMD 16V 47uf 20% Audio-SMT The Audio bit concerns me, will these be ok? The Analog caps are all...

Perfect and comprehensive, thanks.

What brand would you recommend?

Excellent, thank you bibilit, much appreciated. I will rekindle and hopefully complete the project. Now to find the time!

I have had a Mac Classic II for around a year that is in excellent physical condition. I started to work on replacing the capacitors (I have got so far as removing the primary culprits on the analog board) but my progress stopped when trying to order the replacement capacitors (for the analog...

Excellent found them, thank you.

sixsevenco good to hear you managed to resurrect  your mac from the dead, there is hope for us all. I am slowly filling my basket on mouser thanks for advice regarding the capacitors, how do I find suitable replacements for DP3 and DP4, what are they? They do not have any markings.

Mouser looks like the place to buy my replacement capacitors but I could use some buying advice. I'm planning to replace all capacitors on the Logic and analog boards but I'm not sure what replacements are suitable, for example one of the existing capacitors is a Nichicon, 470uf, 25v, marked...

sixsevenco, before you removed the old caps on the analog board did you check then for charge? I've been scouting the web for info on discharging caps and how quickly they naturally drain and have come to the conclusion this is bloody dangerous! Does anyone know of a standard/safe procedure for...

When I discharge the CRT I assume the analog board/capacitors get discharged at the same time? 

Just opened up the classic and the visual appearance of everything inside looks great, very little dust, no corrosion anywhere. I can't see any leakage around the pram battery (leakage being my reason for wanting to replace it). I shall clean around the caps first see if that works.

Hope it's ok to piggy back on to this thread. I have just bought a classic II in great physical condition but dead on start-up (I hear the disc spin but screen shows nothing). I'm a complete novice (have never used a soldering iron in my life!!!) but plan to attempt the same resurrection as...
