That's all good. Just curious about the capacitor situation with these.
Well...on the subject of recapping floppy drives...if you're taking the time to recap a logic or analog board in a Compact Mac, it's a good idea to go over the floppy drive with a fine tooth comb. JDW put together a very in-depth and informative slice of videotape about how to recap a floppy drive.
His words, paraphrased, "Even caps on a floppy drive don't escape the ravages of time.". I took those words to be...if a cap can leak, it will...so while things are apart, just do it. It's a great opportunity as well to change the troublesome gear, clean the 30+ year old grease and oil up and put fresh lubricants down so your floppy drive works just as new.
Since you have an SE/30...you'll want to watch two videos - the first is for the 800k drive...BUT...this video goes into the finer points of lubrication and tear down. The other, for the 1.44mb drive talks specifically about the teardown and points to keep in mind.
800k video:
1.44mb video:
The even better part of both these videos, is that JDW outlines the lubricants that *need* to be used [don't just use any ol' thing at hand]...and provides Mouser carts with all of the caps you're going to need to do the job rightly. Be aware that some caps may be EOL, so find acceptable substitutes.
For myself, I have a number of Compact Macs torn down, including two SE/30's that are all getting a good going over. You can bet, even if the caps look good on the floppy drives, they too will be given the same going over.
Keeping our Vintage Macs alive! Hope this helps. =)
