Can you tell us where you got the new RIFA from? Got the itch to replace some as preventative maintenance.

Of course, they were bought at the Spanish site of RS-ONLINE. I guess that the american site will also have them.

That link looks better, thanks! I'm currently recapping a IIGS supply so will check your list. Which model was this from?  I see that's a schematic and parts list, thanks!!
It looked like you replaced the ceramic caps too, did you find there was a need for that, or were you just doing it so you wouldn't have to later? 

I don't think I've ever seen ceramics go bad, but I also know that means nothing!!

Holy crap, that's an awesome document. They even describe how a switching power supply works with diagrams for the controller feedback loop!

If you want easy, Console5 would be the easiest source.
Digikey has several from Panasonic and Kemet, but if you don't know the difference between X and Y caps go to console5 because it is confusing and the wrong one can kill you.
