Nintendo Power Supply Cap Kit List inside if you want to rebuild those power supplies

I'm posting this being that the arcade shop switching power supplies kit for donkey kong and donkey kong jr. just don't seem to work well at all. I always get sprites, always need to adjust the voltage. It's a royal pain in the freaking neck. Anyway.. I upgrades some of the voltage on the caps to make the order easy. Here's the list for a Nintendo Power supply rebuild!

330uf 2000v x 2
10uf 25v x 5
47uf 35v x 12
3300uf 10v x 4
100uf 25v x 2
1000uf 50v x 2

Total number of caps is 27 and they are all radial.

Hope this helps someone.

I think you've got a typo.....:D

upgrade voltage

Well,

All I can say is. It was easier for me! If you'd like to produce your own list, please feel free. All I know is my power supply runs great!

power supply

Yes.. I found some electrolytics at 200v and digikey!

These caps are for nintendo power supplies. DK and DK Junior. I believe popeye as well. Not sure what other games take the nintendo power supply in the metal cage.
 
This is the list needed for any nintendo supply or just a certain one?

Donkey Kong came with a PP-7A or a PP-7B
Donkey Kong Jr......PP-7B (manual also lists a PP-7A)
Mario Bros......PP-7B
Popeye.....PP-900A
Punch Out......PP-1000A
Radar Scope......PP-7A
Play Choice 10.....PP-1000A
VS. Upright dual System......PP-1200A
VS. UniSystem....PP-7B
VS. dual cocktail system.....PP1100A
Heli-Fire.....PP-7A
Space Firebird....PP-7A

I'm betting this cap list is for the PP-7B power supply.

I checked the Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. power supplies. One is 7A and one is 7B. caps are the same.

The 7A was used in Radar Scope and early DK cabs.
The 7B was used in later DK cabs and also DKJR & DK3 cabs.
They are the same except the 7A has an extra connection(6P ESS) for Radar Scope and Heli Fire boards.
 
whats the deal with the c15/c16 caps on the pp7b, both the schematics i have list them as 2200 not 3300, i have a two units one uses 2200 the other 3300. id be inclined to replace like for like but i have a bunch of spare 3300 caps. are they interchangable or is there slightly different pp7bs out there?

cheers

I never could get consensus on a complete and accurate cap list for this power supply so I scrapped them and decided to go with one of the common switching power supplies.

OP: what various people have been telling you in about 10 different posts... your 330uF/2000V listing is a MISTAKE, it's really 330uF/200V

fear not though, I'm going to make a proper list.
 
I have been having problems with my super mario. I checked the voltage against what Ken put up. My 5v are coming up 5.1, 12v are coming up about 11v and the 24v is 21v. If I were to replace the capacitors in the power supply will that most likely correct the voltages?
