iMac G3 - Capacitior List?

I have a 700mhz iMac G3 that I'm looking to see if a capacitor list exists so that I can order and match capacitors.  Can any direct me to where such a list might exist?

I would also be interested in such a capacitor list, I am working on an identical broken 700MHz iMac, however on my machine the logic board is broken, not the analog board.

Here is the capacitor list I made for my iMac G3s. They are iMac DV SE (Special Edition) 400 MHz "Graphite" models. While obviously not quite the same, perhaps it can be of some use.

Do you think this list would work for the non-dv first gen blueberry slot load model (same except for the 350MHz FireWire-less video out-less board). Mine unfortunately is in need of a recap (ugh) so I should probably get on that soon...

My guess is it would be similar, particulalrly for the analogue board, which I would imagine is unlikely to have changed significantly between the 350 and the 400. The only way to know for sure though would be to cross-check your board against the list, but this at least would give you something to start with.

Out of interest what caps need the most attention on the iMac - PAV, or analogue board? I've an iMac G3 233Mhz that displays power issues, all caps look OK - there are many ....

Mine boots fine but the CRT geometry has problems. It is clearly a very high hour tube (the hard drive had some 28 thousand hours on it among other things), but the problem is that whenever I open a window (or whenever anything changes), the image shifts. My guess is that the caps have just been expended up their usable life, not some time related failure.
