Hi Sean,
I am restoring the T-1000Z - It's in bad shape.

Is there a parts list for the boards ? I'm not sure which capacitors to replace on the motherboard. I thought there were some tantulum capacitors to replace, but I don't recognize any. A parts list would be very helpful for all the boards. I have a diagram of the motherboard showing the component placement, showing C1, C2 etc, but I would like to match it with a parts list.

I cannot find an exact replacement for the 2 large 500 mF electrolytic capacitors that sit in the "rabbit ears".
would 490 mF be close enough ? I found some but the diameter may be a bit too big. They are also $60 each !!
Does anyone have any suggestions for replacements ?

thanks, Fred

ALL electrolyt capacitors are Tantalium even when they don't look like the modern pills shape.
First replace all 10uF, labelled 10M. Then see if it works....
The big electrolyt 500uF in the PSU are normally not critical. Even the PSU itself is often not the cause for disfunction. Also the 4.7uF on the printer driver board are very critical and have to be replaced first.

Hi Fred,

As Henning says, there is Tantalum everywhere - All cylindrical capacitors on the motherboard, printer, line interface card and machine interface cards are suspect especically any marked 10M or 4.7M.

Tantalum Capacitors

PSU capacitors - I had them fail in one of my PSUs This took out the rectifiers. 470uf is close enough, and yes, at this size and voltage they will be expensive.

Leave them for now, you may be lucky.

We do not have parts lists for the T1000, but to be honest, there has not ever been a need for them
