Apple IIe Power Supply Question.

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone I need a little bit of help, I've got some old macs etc but just got my first apple iie that came with a bunch of cards. I need to source the rifa caps for he apple iie power supply, would these be the correct caps on console 5? https://console5.com/.../0-1uf-275v-panasonic-metallized...
Also, I think the fuse is blown in my power supply, but it is a pigtail fuse, it doesn't have a holder, just directly soldered in. My question for that is, that should be a Fast-blow, so F2A 250V fuse correct? I haven't been able to find one for sale, other than one website that wants like 10 shipped for just one. Can I just get a fuse like at Walmart and attach some leads to the end metal casing? Thanks for everyone's help.

Having just restored a couple of power supplies, I can say that Console5 kits are the way to go.  Match up your part number to theirs and then add the rifa caps you need from their stuff.  If you have questions about which kits to buy, just ask them, they have a quick turn around on orders.

 

If you really want to future proof, the all in one power supply kits are the most reliable and stable solution IMO.  https://www.reactivemicro.com/product/universal-psu-kit/

 

I've replaced capacitors when the power supply was still working, but had lost their rifa and other electrolytic components.  I've also put in replacement kits when the transistors or transformers had failed.  I hope this helps a bit.

Thank you Sean, that's what I ended up doing actually, got some caps from Console 5, hopefully they arrive this weekend.
