Tech: Atari Big Blue replacement question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

i am just checking to see if a 35,000mfd at 40V could replace the original
27,000mfd 15V(?) Big Blue in Atari games? i have used in several cabs now
but want to double-check so i don't overlook some work(troubleshooting) that
i've already done!!

thanks,
Kelly

That cap will do just fine.
BTW, where are you finding those?

If you look on ebay, there is a guy selling 27,000uf 25v or 40v (cant
remember which voltage) for something like $20 shipped for 4. FWIW,
bobs site said anything from 27,000 - 35,000 will work for a big blue
replacement.

I thought higher voltage was ok, but the mfd value had to be the same.

In this case it's ok since all it's being used for is to filter the
input rectified to DC. You still need to match or better the voltage
rating though. Also I believe the ESR of the cap must be relatively
close to the original.

that'll work too!

if you guys want the higher one that i have available (35,000mfd at 40v) for
$5.95 and is the exact same size as original also made by Mallory, email me
privately and i don't mind sending you guys some especially since Bob($12.50
i think on his site) is down for awhile i take it!!

let me know if you guys want some,
Kelly
