Welcome to the Retro Upgrades Capacitor Kit Repository where we store the documentation that we’ve created for the console capacitor kits that we stock.
Important: Always double-check polarity against both the diagram & the PCB silkscreen when replacing capacitors!
Capacitor Identification Chart
Some more important things to note:
*Attention: If there is no polarity marking on a capacitor, it is BIPOLAR!
**Voltage ratings for some capacitors supplied in our kits may be higher than the originals. Capacitance always remains the same and should not be changed unless specifically stated. Example: a 10uF 16V capacitor can be replaced by a 10uF 50V capacitor, however, a 10uF 16V capacitor should NOT be replaced by a 100uF 16V capacitor.
***Some through-hole capacitors may be smaller in physical size vs. the original capacitor that is being replaced. This is perfectly normal. As technology grows, aluminum electrolytic capacitors become smaller.
