I have this Mac SE/30 that was in pretty bad shape. I'm going to recap it hopefully soon.
But after really looking close, I'm seeing this green "fuzz" all over the place. Pretty much every where a capacitor was, a nearby chip has the corrosion all over the pins.
I'm really wondering if this board is a lost cause. I'm sure with enough time I could probably fix it. But some of those IC's look to be very hard to find.
The worst example are UB10 and UB11 (Sony audio). But others are almost as bad including some of the VLSI chips.
This is my only SE/30. I have three other classic Macs (SE FDHD, etc.) but this is the only '030 classic Mac I have.
I'm not so much disappointed about not having a '030...I don't really need the speed. I just hate seeing a vintage computer become too damaged to repair.
What do you suggest? I have the equipment to remove the IC's properly. But is it worth the effort? What would you do?
Thanks for any suggestions.
