need to look a little harder, but at least now I know what I can get away
with. I'll do a little more searching this evening.
If you can determine if the capacitor is on the unregulated or regulated
side of the supply and have a photo of the board, it would help narrow it
down a little more.
As I mentioned in another reply, you could go as low as 10V on the
regulated side of the supply, but on the unregulated side, 16V would be
the logical choice (some 25V parts exist, but 25V rated 15000uF and
22000uF are somewhat uncommon).
If you want to stick close to the original 15V 16000uF part, just go with
a 16V 15000uF or 22000uF and you should be fine.
