Cap kits?

[Tarantulas]

Is there a reputable place to purchase cap kits for Macintosh restores?  I've got a SE/30 and a IIci that I'll need to recap.

You might try trag. He used to offer kits specifically for those machines (and others), but I'm not sure if he still does.

Trag sent me a couple SE/30 kits in the last few months or so. I'd IM him and see if he's still around.

Will do.  Thanks for the recommendation!

If you don't mind assembling the kit yourself, DigiKey is pretty good.

I have bought all of my capacitors from Digikey.com. When buying, it takes a little extra time to pick capacitor value, brand, and size. They are definitely a reputable source as a large company with many customers. MacCaps.com has listings for many computers showing exactly what capacitors to purchase. In general, as long as the capacitance is the same between old and new capacitors, voltages that are higher than the original capacitors are fine. I would recommend sticking with surface mount tantalum capacitors in the A, B, and C sizes. (C is largest A is smallest) Anything smaller probably will not fit on the circuit board.
