Atari Lynx Capacitor Maps

These are interactive maps i.e. placement locations, for electrolytic capacitors on both the Lynx 1 and Lynx 2 models. See this page if you need to know how to read capacitor values - How to Read a Capacitor.

K-Retro sell the complete Lynx I and Lynx II capacitor replacement kits, as well as MOSFET and zener power circuit replacements, physical, laminated copies of these capacitor and components maps. Check them out here - Shop - Capacitor Replacement Kits

Note: Some motherboard variants have slightly different placement for capacitors. They should be near enough to be located using these maps above however.
