I would suggest doing one board at a time make sure u put the caps in as you take one out, pay close attention to polarity....
 
Bob Roberts doesn't have... I wonder who else will sell me the caps ?

Is there anyone that already sells a kit?
If so can you order online ?
 
A future note to those who attempt to recap a PP-7B power supply - make sure you have a good SHARP properly fitting phillips head screwdriver available to open the case of the power supply. The machine screws holding it together are torqued at the factory with loc-tite, and they are very tight. It's very easy to strip one of the screw heads if you're not careful.

Also, pay attention to where machine screws are used vs. sheet metal screws. The screws going into the fins of the heat sinks are button head sheet metal screws, whereas the other ones are button head machine screws. Don't mix their locations up.
 
Due to the urgency ,
i needed this done ASAP. I bought them from a local store (Miami,FL.) nearby that carried them.

But it fixed the pulsating problem 100%

We all know the Nintendo Power Bricks are good...
But after 30 years... Something has to give... Eventually.
