Does anyone have a Galaxian cap list & map?
One day I'll make up kits for these...
I have a bunch of the 10,000uf caps and will make complete kits... but, I have other irons in the fire first.

I've never figured out why people need a map, unless it's for boards that have no part designators silk-screened on the board?
if your board has designators, and you have parts, and you have a list, you can install a cap kit.
I get all my caps out and line them up in order of value, then pull a cap and replace it with the same value. I usually start on one corner and work my way around. The only time I even look at the list is if the value I pull doesn't seem to match anything I have. Then I check the designator, then the list, before I put in the new cap. And I'll probably find the schematic to make sure which value is correct, too. The only time I've ever used a map is when I expect a polarity marking and can't read it for some reason...
For what it's worth, I think Cap Maps are there for newbies and lazy people who think they can fix something forever by changing one - and only one - cap, and they can't figure out how to locate it, so they need a cheat sheet.
Not referencing anyone specifically, of course....
