Who in US can recapp fix ST/Falcon?

[Gagarin]

Hi. I think I asked some time ago. Most of my contacts are not experienced with Atari hardware. Do you know who would be able to repair ST and Falcon board?

Not knowing where you are, but assuming (this being an American forum) youre in the US, I would direct you here:

Update: saw US in the topic now, still the advice stands...

I tried. No response.

I don't know if this can help you but Console 5 used my 1040STf to make a capacitor kit for sale. You can try emailing them with your particular ST/Falcon and they can make a kit for you. If you can't replace a capacitor yourself, I'm sure with kit in hand and how easy these machines are to disassemble, you might be able to find a PC repair place that could help you.

 

Here is a link to the kit for sale

Any decent TV repair shop can probably help you with that, and wizztronic still supports atari.

With that said, refurbishing and recapping the PSU is probably not a bad idea, but recapping your mobo is likely not needed. This recapping craze really started with commodores really crappy build quality, where recapping is a necessity... but suddenly everyone and their mother got into a recap craze...
