I gave in to the inevitable, ordered a bunch of caps and have started learning to re-cap these old boards and clean them up. Unfortunately this board has not been a success. It was... mostly working... before re-capping, I've re-capped the board using the recap-a-mac references, have double/triple checked cap polarity, continuity tested cap connections etc.
Currently it turns on, soft boot works fine, hard drive powers up, but no boot process begins and I have no startup chime. It just sits on a gray screen which is occasionally yellow tinted.
Caps were removed with a hot air rework station w/ small tip and low air pressure (so I didn't end up blowing other small components off) and replaced with tantalum equivalents.
Any thoughts?
