Editing Sinclair ZX Spectrum Capacitor Replacement Guide (section)

=== Where the two parts lists disagree with themselves ===

Sinclair's tables contain several obvious misprints. They are recorded here so that you can check this page against the manual and see why it differs:<ref name="sm85" /><ref name="sm913" />

* '''C44/C45''' are given as type "Ceramic" in section 9.13 but "Electrolytic" in section 8.5. A 100 µF part with a −10% +80% tolerance is an electrolytic; the 9.13 type cell is wrong.
* '''C47''' is given as "22nf" in section 9.13, with an electrolytic type and a 10 V, −10% +80% rating. Section 8.5 and the DC-DC converter modification in section 9.2 both call it a 22 µF electrolytic. It is 22 µF.
* '''C29''' on Issue 5 is printed as "44nf", which is not a preferred value. The table above shows 47 nF, matching every other issue except 6A, but that is an inference and not what the manual prints — check your own board.
* '''C78''' is 1 µF 25 V in section 9.2 but 22 µF 25 V in the section 9.13 parts list. Section 9.2 carries the editor's warning that its instructions are incorrect, so the parts list is the better record.

Every one of these is flagged rather than quietly corrected, so that this page can be checked line by line against the manual.
