Description
27,000 uf 25V Atari “Big Blue” capacitor. These replace the OEM 26,000uf 15v, 28,000uf 15v and up to 30,000uf 25v that the games originally came with. Used in Williams / Gottlieb Pinball Games and Atari video games, including Atari black & white games that used the 29-053 Sprague capacitor. Atari Big Blue Capacitors are used on Atari power supplies. These capacitors are located on the power supply block/Brick on Atari transformers, and have screw down terminals. If your game does not have a new one and has strange problems with power or resets such as picture is jittery, Light streaks / hum bar / wave, Blank raster, Horizontal hold will not lock, Vertical hold will not lock (rolling screen), Game intermittently not powering on, not powering on at all or resetting and many times replacing this can fix it. It is always good to replace the old capacitors with a new one as preventative maintenance. These are the exact size replacement 2″ diameter so they fit perfectly in your existing power supply without modifications. Case size is 51mm diameter, 80mm length and 22mm lead spacing. These include 2 brand NEW screws for the terminals. These are FRESH brand new stock.

Fits perfectly. Absolutely necessary for every Atari cab that has the original “Big Blue” in it!

Black is the new blue. You know what they say, once you go black….
Great product!

This is perfect, I know some people say you can use the big blues for another 40 years but why risk it? Allows Mind Games to get good clean voltage. Do things are perfect fit if they were $6 I’d give it six. Don’t be cheap spend the extra few bucks and get this bad boy!

High quality part. Tested my AC ripple off the 10.3 vdc test point on the ARII and it was very low(0.243 vac) My Tempest machine is happy! Fits perfect as well.

Bought on a recommendation from a repair thread. It wasn’t the fix to the problem I was having but it did install easily and fits perfectly where the old part was removed.

I definitely recommend getting this I got two more. You never know when you’re going to run into another Atari game but could use these. It’s the foundation for almost every Atari game if your game is having weird if power issues I highly recommend replacing this. You’ll save yourself hours of headaches down the road

Bought another one of these. For my Williams system 9 game. It’s not the exact same values but it’s good enough. Better than trying to reuse the old cap or trying to buy one Elsewhere for a three to four times the price
