Yes, but I was thinking maybe I should change all of them before they started exploding/leaking. I have the international 230v board and I have had some problems finding replacements for every part because they seems to differ from the cap lists people have made in other replacement threads
My Macs are also International 230 volts versions. I have already recapped all of them in the last years ( so logic, analog, PSU ).

Finding exact replacements is often not that easy if you want to make it look right as for example a 100uf 200v capacitor from 25 years old is much larger than one with identical specs today.

So I measured all the original one's and looked for replacements that where about the same size so they look right on the Analog board.

The solution was choosing for the same capacitance but higher voltage and going for the more expensive 5000 or 7000 hours caps.

I made an inventary of each board in Excell including the part number of the replacement caps.

To avoid trouble: I replaced all the film and axials capacitors as well as you can see in this discussion: they can brake down too.

PM me what you need and I will send you the file.
