On the Atari Superman Processor board there is a large 8000uF 16V cap which apparently has something to do with the +9V rail:

I am not exactly an expert, but is this a smoothing cap and thus can be replaced with a higher rated one, i.e. a 10000uF? The one on my board looks a bit swollen and I have a couple of 10000s readily available. 8000uF don't seem too common... Thanks!
 
Thanks, but I'm in Germany, so orderung one cap in the US might only be my plan B :D

no problem but i do ship to germany every month and with over 1100 products maybe there is something else you may need.;):D

In fact there are a few things that I would need, but the budget isn't there atm :eek:

Its a filter cap (smoothing cap) and a higher value cap should be okay. I wouldn't go too much bigger, maybe 20% at most.

Thanks!
