I just want to say that I have a EU 230v Macintosh Plus and the same thing have happened to that one a year or two ago.The house circuit fuse blows after a few minutes. I've tried it several places and it's the same. I've opened it and the same caps as in Timbo's picture were cracked.

I haven't ordered new caps yet because I'm a little bit unsure on what to replace them with...

I took the analog board out of another Plus today and replaced just the two 4700pF 250v filter caps.

It's been an hour now and it's still running!

Haven't replaced any C1's yet as that order still hasn't arrived.

By the way, I noticed some C1's are 3.9uF and others are 6.8uF. Would it make a difference if I swapped them over?

And, one more- should I bother with a hot glue gun (which I haven't got) to keep the caps I have replaced in one place? Would it really matter if I didn't bother?

Thanks

Tim
