SE/30 tantalum capacitor Mouser cart

Thanks for letting us know! Seems like there's been quite a lot of actin there already, has it been back for long?

Thanks for sharing. I have been flip flopping back and forth on what caps to get. I wanted the black caps for it would look nice. But 1) there was no black cap at 1µf @ 50V and 2) They were more expensive. If there was a 1µf @ 50V cap in black, I would have be saving for it.

The Cap in Black in 47µf @ 16V:

Yellow looks good too! They are almost an exact colour match for the filter networks.

Quick, someone register all the names of the nasty people!!!

True. I was going after that "It looks like the chips" look on my SE/30 Mobo.

Well, everything looks good in one's imagination.

I probably should have went with them instead of aluminium caps... Oh well. Btw, I used Mouser for my first order but on my second order, I went with Allied Electronics... Some things were half the price lol.

Hah. Knew you'd end up going back.

I actually ordered them from Farnell, but they don't seem to provide a means of sharing order lists. The price differences between suppliers are bizare. Some things are cheaper at one, some at another. With a large and varied order things tend to balance out, but with a small order it may be worth shopping around.

I just thought I'd register my name now, before you did and started posting "VISTA PWNZ OS X!!!11!!1!" all over the new forum, just so as to make sure they all hate me! I haven't said anything on there yet, I'll keep an eye on how it turns out and see if I want to go back

Oh gosh yes, Macster. My life's work is to make you hated. But wait a minute, doesn't everyone already hate you anyway? So you seem to think.

Well gentlemen, as this forum will probably be a lot quieter from now on, now is the time to say thank you very much to Alk for having us as his guests.

I'm not all that concerned about how the 68kmla turns out; my only concern is whether I can be bothered posting/whether I enjoy posting on it. I'm not sure about either so I think I'll just go back to lurking for the moment. Catcha guys.

I got about 12 machines to recap (all my duos, the SE/30, 2 LCs, 2 IIcx, 2 IIci, 2 IIsi and so on) and though a large order would be cheaper for me, I do not have that kind of money and need to do this one machine at a time. I'll try to get some extras that will add up to one or two machines as I order them.

Also I noticed that the yellow Beaded Tantalums (GenieMac used in his mac: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/19821-mac-newbie-se30-vid-probnot-another-one/?p=200436 ) were at 1/2 price or more for a long time, now cost as a SMD/SMT Cap! GenieMac did an excellent job restoring that board!

So I'll look around for more places for a "lower price" but I'll use that Mouser price guide as a standard of what it should be. Who knows, maybe I'll get my black caps for a nice price!

You can always get a set of 15 caps (of your choice from my available types) for $10 from me. These days, my 47uF tantalum caps are black and rated for 20V. I mention it only because it sounds like some of you may have been having frustrations ordering caps. My posting is stickied over in the Trading Post.

Thanks bud. I probably will join, but can't really be bothered right now for some reason. I'll still be on here but I doubt anyone else will.

You should definitely post - won't be the same for the others without someone to hate!!

I registered again, but I don't know if I'll be staying around long - I posted a few things, but I may just do the whole "hiatus" thing from 68kMLA for awhile.

I'm kind of feeling the same way. I think I'll be giving the 68kMLA a breather. Besides, my interests have always been more aligned with the PowerPC Macs...

Peace,

This is what I feared from the whole mess up - major dissipation of general good will towards the 68kmla forums. What I'd suggest is visit there to check or ask about 68K related stuff, here for PPC related stuff (I hope this place gaining some momentum is a positive out of the 68k mess that will remain), and just chat wherever.

To clear the situation up a bit - I was on unofficial temp hiatus from the 68kMLA before it went down, I had removed it from my bookmarks bar nearly two whole weeks earlier.

At this point, I'd just like to finish the semester with good finals grades and move back home (from the dorm) without losing anything on the way.

At that point, I've got a few things to think about, but I think 68kMLA may reappear on my radar.

I am probably going to have a go with some actual 68k stuff before returning, maybe play with the 840av for a bit.

I'm probably gonna go into 68kMLA-hiatus for about two weeks too. I need to focus on school until it ends. Then I can be a post whore again
