Recapping a 4900 chassis and wondering if I can do this.
Original was the vertical of course.
16v 470 uF
Same value so I'm think either yes or that's a dirty trick!

recheck your work and also caps get old and old stock caps are far worse in my experience then caps of the same age that have been used due to their self healing properties. i would throw all those electrolytic caps in the garbage as those are garbage when new and replace them on the pcb with new ones.Thanks ,I have replaced board components here and there as needed but last night was the first time I recapped an entire chassis.

All seemed to go really smooth but when I finished I reinstalled the chassis and nothing. No neck glow.
The 4900 chassis Worked before with some edge curl. Have 120 coming in ....what did I do to get no neck glow???
Part of the learning process. I went up on some caps in voltage but not uf.
Nothing popped and polarity was all correct.

Got em with some equipment. Have repaired some pinball boards with them and they were from the guy I got the Nice Tempest and other bits in the lot a while back.Where did you get your caps from?
There are old ones out there (as Security states) which are basically garbage. Electrolytics break down over time.
Would you install a 20 year old battery in your board? Nope. Caps are similar - don't do that.
Yes , it needed recapping lol. Heavy Edge curl and they looked to be original caps never replaced.Was there some reason you were recapping the chassis?
What is "a while back?" (Approximately)Got em with some equipment. Have repaired some pinball boards with them and they were from the guy I got the Nice Tempest and other bits in the lot a while back.
