does anybody know of a source for hard-to-find replacement parts
(electronic components, that is...) for Atari equipment (prefereably
in the L.A. or Orange Co. areas)? specifically, a friend of mine needs,
and is having trouble finding, just one part: a capacitor, 2.2uF,
50V non-polar, radial leads, over-sized (to dissipate heat better).
note that this is an odd one; most non-polars are axial, and this is
physically like 4 times bigger than most caps of that value. it was
found ozzing and bubbling in an Atari ST monochrome monitor, near the high
voltage coil. it's obviously some sort of a high-frequency filtering cap
(for the flyback circuit?).
(it was really something to behold... after tracking down 2 blown
voltage regulators, we noticed this capacitor which had blown up. it
spewed it's plastic-like guts all over neighboring components, leaving
a curtain of goop draped between them all. quite visually apealling,
actually. and it smelled like roasting peanuts!)
please e-mail responses, as i dont regularly read this group
(sorry, but i'm a die-hard Amigan :-)
thanx in advance. -matt
