Anyone sell an Atari 400 capacitor kit?

[Starglider01]

As above really. Or a list at least?...

 

Is it the same as the 800?

Not that I know of. It'd be a low demand item. I've replaced a few and in a couple of cases was only so I could bend the legs and tuck it down to make room for other stuff.

Electrically, our old computers have a fairly easy life. Overall consumption and heat dissipation in the 3-6 Watt range, most models have the power conversion all external and replacement tends to be sporadic and probably more an issue with peripherals than the computers.

For posterity and to help with the project, as it may be needed someday... maybe someone would be inclined to post the 400's build out sheet or maybe he could simply look through a bunch of photo facts etc.

The parts list for the 400 is already in the back of the 400-800 Home Computer Field Service Manual, available at Atarimania.

I think I figured out why there is no capacitor kit. Looking at the photographs there is only one capacitor on the main board!

 

There are a few on the power board but I think only four. I have therefore ordered a $10 kit from Amazon that seems to cover all the bases!
