Editing Sinclair ZX Spectrum+ Capacitor Replacement Guide (section)

== Choosing replacements ==

* Use '''105 °C''' aluminium electrolytics of equal capacitance and equal-or-higher voltage. The original 10 V and 16 V parts are comfortably replaced with 16 V or 25 V modern equivalents.
* Note the very wide original tolerances (−10% +80% on several parts) — modern ±20% capacitors are well within specification.
* Several originals are '''axial'''. Axial parts remain available; if fitting radial replacements, form and insulate the leads neatly so nothing shorts to adjacent tracks.
* The ceramics (47 nF, 100 nF, and the small pF values) are stable and are not normally replaced.
