What a rookie mistake! I put in a new cap with the correct orientation and all my issues are fixed. It's running great with a MacBatt now

I recently recapped a Mac LC II board that needed it and also had some pretty bad rust on the ports. I did a typical recap, had to bodge a single lifted pad, and I also used spray paint on the really rusted back panel metal (tried to protect the board as much as possible and clean off any paint...

Tested it with a full bank of 4 from my Mac llvx / Performa 600 board...no change
