    Quoted from southofi-10:

    sprague 36dx 30000-25dc 8004l 0102
    Large blue power capacitor found in backbox next to transformer
    Where does a person find these at a good price??

    I'm curious. Why do you think that the cap needs to be replaced?

    Quoted from interconnect:

    Was just doing PM and replaced all the caps on all the boards

    This philosophy is counter to the better pinball rule, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
    I've seen far too many board damaged by unqualified "techs" replacing perfectly working parts.
    In general, I advise against it.
    If you have the skill and experience, press on...but the "improvement" will be nearly zero.

    Quoted from interconnect:

    That may be your philosophy, but not mine. Please keep comments like this to yourself.

    Please sir. There is no need to be snarky.
    I did say, if you have the skills press on.
    Congratulations on being able to handle such jobs. You are in a small minority that have honed those skills.

    We can agree to disagree, I hope.
    Regards.

    DumbAss Yikes!
    I always hate to see that kind of hackage.
    But there is a sense of accomplishment by putting it all back right, at least as much as possible.

    Langless28 Thank you for your kind comments.
