Atari CX2600A Capacitor Replacement & Restoration Kit

Atari / Sears CX2600A Four-Switch Console Restoration Kit

Don’t just replace it — restore it.

Your Atari or Sears CX2600A four-switch console may stillpower on and play, but after decades of use and storage, several internalcomponents can begin to fail or drift out of specification. Aging parts cancontribute to common issues such as color palette discoloration, weak ormissing audio until the system warms up, unstable power, or unreliableconnections.

This restoration kit was assembled to closely match theoriginal components used in these classic consoles while improving long-termreliability where appropriate. Atari sourced parts from a variety ofmanufacturers during production, so this kit includes high-quality replacementsfrom reputable manufacturers that are either exact replacements or very closefunctional equivalents.

Kit includes:

• 2200µF 16V axial electrolytic capacitor
CE Manufacturing, Japan

• Two 4.7µF 50V radial electrolytic capacitors
Nippon, Japan

• Two 820pF 63V polystyrene capacitors
TRW, USA
Polystyrene capacitors are heat sensitive. Use a heat-sink clip or alligatorclip while soldering to help prevent excess heat from reaching the capacitorbody.

• Two 0.22µF 100V polyester film “green chicklet”capacitors
BC, Germany

• 3.5mm threaded DC power jack
Made in Japan
Many original power jacks become dirty, loose, broken, or lose spring tensionover time, resulting in poor power connection.

• L7805CV voltage regulator
STMicroelectronics, various countries of origin
Rated for 1A service. Original regulators were commonly rated for only 1/2A andcan occasionally fail with age.

• Packet of heat sink compound
Included for proper installation of the replacement voltage regulator.

Installation note:
Installation requires opening the console and soldering to the circuit boardwhile observing polarity on some of the capacitors where applicable. This kitis intended for users with basic electronics repair experience. If you are notcomfortable soldering or working inside vintage electronics, professionalinstallation is recommended.

This kit is ideal for collectors, restorers, and hobbyistswho want to preserve the originality and reliability of their Atari or Searssix-switch console using carefully selected, high quality replacementcomponents.
