Sega Saturn Sophia Programming Box Capacitor Values

Since I'll be replacing the caps on my Sophia Systems Saturn Programming Box, I figured I might as well share the values of the electrolytic caps in case any others feel the need to replace a whole bunch of capacitors. Some of the values might be different depending on the A-Bus and mainboard revisions.
The height and width are estimates on difficult to access caps and the SMD ones.

Updated the spreadsheet (and download link) and above values to include the easily identifiable power supply capacitors.
I've also updated the photo gallery with some more photos of the power supply.
Click here to see the full gallery - lots of resolution!

Please enjoy friends of Sophia! :smile-new:

 

Thanks RJ! I was looking for these exact values on the heights and seem to have misplaced the original document.
Yep, you know that means I have a few more Sophias to fix up!
I'm going to start with the SMD caps this time, replace them with some nice Panasonic long life caps.
I probably should redo the first Sophia with SMD caps as well... and remove that mess of radial caps in place of SMD caps...!

Ahhh unlucky for you, they do not have too much excitement, they seem to be more recent than the Japanese one I picked up a while back. I'll be doing a complete recap both units in due time. First I'm going to try recapping a PAC-S1 from a LaserActive... 75+ SMD caps... is there no God in his heaven? At least they haven't leaked and eaten away at the PCB yet! So I've got that going for me
