VP6 Kit Questions

[Longhair]

Hi,
Even though this is my first post, I have known about the bad caps for a very long time and have been lucky enough to have 2 VP6's running for close to 5 years.

I was doing some upgrading on the computers - still using the VP6's - and noticed that some of the caps are showing serious signs of replacement.

Since I live in the Netherlands, I figure that it would be a lot faster if I did the repair job myself.

Now I have a few questions about the kits:

1) Do you ship overseas to Europe using USPS? (USP shipping & import charges would cost more than the kits).
2) Do the specific kits come with instructions on which capacitor goes where?
3) Since I need 2 kits, do you combine shipping costs?
4) Are these "direct" replacements - same diameter, height and etc. - so there are no issues with putting the components back together?

Thanks for providing this service

Re: VP6 Kit Questions

If you want Samxon caps, contact Big Pope, he'll ship to you. I've bought a lot of caps from him, he's true to his word. He doesn't have the premade kits like I have, so you'll need to make him a list of all your caps 1000uF and up. Use my kit as a roadmap. If you want Rubycon caps, I make exceptions from time to time about overseas shipping if you can't find what you need in your own country and you want Rubycon caps (I'm a huge VP6 fan as well)!!! As far as import fees, I don't have those answers. I typically list them as a 'gift', but I don't know if that excludes you from import fees.

Either brand (Samxon or Rubycon) will be the correct diameter and direct replacement for your current caps.
