Lisa Power Supply Capacitors

Hi All

Just picked up my first Lisa and started to inspect it.

The large Rifa X C2 cap has got small cracks in it so I'll be replacing that before it explodes (been there before on a ][+, don't fancy it again...)

There's 2 smaller 2200pF Rifa Y caps at C3 and C4, are these usually good to replace too?

I noticed on the inside of the metal PSU case there's a dark heat mark next to C18 which is a large 16V 2200µF electrolytic - is that normal or should I be looking to replace that too before it dries out?

Any other advise on what to check for would be great!

i just ordered the caps for mine

going to replace all the caps.

The mess those rifa's make when they go is no joke and that smell

the 2 large 470uf caps on mine are domed at the top - replacing those as well

 
I'd replace them ALL including all the Rifa's... I have done all of mine.. It's not difficult.. and I get matching X & Y safety caps...
