Recapped a few of these the other day. Quite a few caps had started leaking. One actually broke off when I pulled on it leaving a leg behind. So if you have one these in original state, I suggest putting some new caps on it.

Anyway,


400-5081, 400-5149 & 400-5198 (same PSUs basically, components just differently laid out and a different set of connectors)

Input: 90-138VAC
Output: +5V 7A, +12V 1.5A, -5V 0.1A

Going to order up today, I use one of these in my canary.
 
Thanks for the list Nem.

I tried started to use digipen as a first timer and was wondering what style of capacitors I should order for this application?

And if there are any features like operating temperature I should look out for and what ones to avoid.

Thanks for the help.
 
Follow up- I received the caps and did the recap today. Like @nem stated, these OG caps were leaking and some were bulging. Took about 30 mins to change the caps and it’s working great now. If you have one on original caps, might want to open it up and check them.
 
I’ve got a 400-5198-01 PSU (which I presume is just a later revision of the 400-5198 ). Do you happen to know if the capacitor list is the same? If not, has anybody mapped this one out?

Bumping an old thread...I have a 400-5198 for my Astro City but half of the caps have different µF/volts stated above and really anywhere else.

This is what is in my current PS:

C5 - 330µF 200v
C11 - .47µF 50v
C12 - 3300µF 25v
C13 - 4700uf 16v
C14 - 4700µF 16v
C15 - 3300µF 35v
C20 - 2200µF 50v
C21 - 2200µF 35v
C22 - 680µF 25v
C24 - 47µF 50v
C25 - 4.7µF 5v

On the back of the board it says SJ25-0111-01. The layout is exactly the same though.

Is this just a different revision?

Thread is for Aero City PSUs, not Astro.

There's a general thread for capacitors lists below:

Thread 'Retro Hardware Capacitors LISTS'

As requested from @Derick2k and @AlxUnderBase I'm going to publish here some of my capacitor list. I'll be glad if someone want to contribute just send me the list and I'll add the list (along with the credits), the more we have the better is 8) .
I usually add the Mouser item number when I add the capacitor to the cart and double check the lists when I perform the recap.
I have a lot of lists under revision or still written on papaer, I'll write down every update when I'll add something :)

I used your guide recently and recapped all 7 of my Aero PSU's. Thanks again!
