C1 from "Classic Mac Repair Notes"

In "Classic Mac Repair Notes" it suggests replacing C1 with a special arrangement:

[SIZE=12pt]A suitable replacement capacitor can be a little difficult to locate on occasion, however, so if you don’t mind altering the appearance of the board, you may substitue a parallel com- bination of four or five 1[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt].0μ[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]F ceramic disk capacitors, rated at 50V breakdown or more (there’s plenty of room; build it up as a module of four caps, and use two pieces of bus wire to connect it to the pc board; secure with hot glue if you wish). Ceramic capacitors are readily available and inherently nonpolar. What’s more, the parallel combination reduces the overall ESR to lower values than the commonly suggested replacements. Plus, whatever heat they generate is now spread out among the separate capacitors, reducing still further any temperature rise. This somewhat un-aesthetic solution is extremely robust.[/SIZE]

Does anyone have a picture of what this looks like?  It's hard for me to visualize.

The easier solution is a single cap with good ESR built in.

Ive been using this, with great success.

That is exactly what I use. Works beautifully.

I’ve seen other people post pictures & video, and see that they’ve been using the same, or similar (some people use 400v, but I don’t like the larger physical size, the 250v is tough enough to fit in there, and I like to keep everything straight and neat).

Awesome, thanks guys!
