Bulk order of 4700uF capacitors?

Post by srowe »

Is anyone in Europe interested in a collective order of ROE 4700uF 16V capacitors to fit in original VIC-20s? The price would be about £2 (2.75 €) plus postage (depending on total quantity ordered).

There's no specifications in the first, hard to tell.

The Unicon ones look to be rated to 85C, most recommendations I've seen for power supply capacitors recommend 105C and low ESR.

Commodore seemed to have used high quality capacitors, mine shows no sign of leaking so I'll wait until I can get hold of equally good replacements before I change it.
