Excellent use of this format, Eric. Very nice!

Should we extend this with the Analog and Logic Boards caps for the 128K, 512K and Plus?
Same with the different floppy drives. I think @JDW has cap list for the floppy drives and PSU caps for the SE&SE/30s.

Nice work! It'd be nice to note the sizes for each cap, especially for analog boards. SMD size codes can be confusing to newcomers and some analog boards have some caps in odd sizes to provide enough clearance. For example IIRC there are a couple 330uF caps on the Color Classic AB and one of them is short and fat where the other is taller and skinnier.

I assume these are all for North American values? I remember that I had to watch myself when searching for component lists back in 2019, I often stumbled upon the values needed for European/International analog boards, which sport different caps.

Hello! I just got a Macintosh SE, and I want to recap. I do have the list for it from RecapAMac. 1µf - 50V x 1 and 10µf - 16V x 10.
I'm new to electronics; I've only soldered some mods to consoles and used breadboards. I don't know what I should look for. Can we add it to the list?
Or can someone help me with some direction on which axial capacitors to buy? I would greatly appreciate it.

You can use the Console5 link above to order the kit that has the correct caps that you need. Make sure it's the one with tantalum caps.

there is a mistake in the logic board table for the Classic. The 1uf should be a 50v. fix that and you can delete the first column.

1uf should be a 50v.
Hmm, maccaps shows it being 1uf 16v - but others show it being 1uf 50v. (of course you can replace it with 1uf 50v fine) - I'll update just to remove the column and confusion.

Also maccaps seems to be dead - though pages are still on archive.org.

I am looking at mine and it’s a 50v.
