In the early 1980s, the Commodore 64 was a very successful home personal computer. It not only played games, but also but also had word processing and a modem for downloading free and shareware applications. In many ways, the Commodore 64 was the pioneer of everything we take for granted in a personal computer world today.

Capacitors of this value and rating
25 volt 1000uF (microfarad)
50 volt 470uF
16 volt 2200uF
are EXACTLY the same size today as the effective rating and capacitance is a direct function of the area of the plates.
DO YOUR RESEARCH
