== ⚠️ A correction ==
An earlier version of this page listed '''C88 as 4700 µF 16 V, C90 as 1000 µF 16 V and C91 as 470 µF 25 V'''. '''None of those values appears in any Commodore parts list''', the roles were transposed, and the voltage ratings were specified '''below''' the rails those capacitors sit on. If you recapped a C64 from this page before September 2026, check what you fitted against the tables below.
