Dare I say Bob Roberts is the Alpo of parts? 🐕

This is an image that nobody wanted to see. Ever.

I'm happy he posted it, it saved me from looking it up online and linking to it.

Either that one or this one:

yes they are OEM

What game did that come out of?

It's easy to tell if the cap is factory or not. Let's see a close up shot of the soldering on the other side of that board (or any other one with a failed cap), to see if it's the original factory wave soldering.

Also, let's see a pic of the full details of the cap (size, etc).

And let's see a pic showing measurements on those four original diodes in the upper right corner. Because the main failure mode of AR's of that age are those 1A diodes, not the caps. That's why Atari upgraded them to larger diodes on the later versions.

random pic found on the internet showing the same make caps on a different ar2. i probably have 40+ ar2s squirreled away who knows what came from what anymore.
