No, it was completely blasted. I think I saved a floppy drive and that was it. The lady used plastic bags as padding.

Thanks guys! I will check them out!

Oh, yeah, I don't care where they come from, as long as they're legit. Do these people you mention have stores that I can order from or are they just forum members?

So would this work as a replacement then? We've got 47uf and 16v. http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/171932770648

Great info! Sadly, I actually have no way to test this. I only have the main board. This is just practice for the real thing.

I'm doing this before any leaking has occurred. I just don't trust myself with a multimeter enough to check traces. I've only ever measured batteries. I've looked up Tantalum caps but I can't figure them out. They don't have leads. How do I attach them with solder if they don't have wirey...

Also, would this work as a replacement? Just want to make sure I'm on the right track. http://www.ebay.com/itm/47uF-16v-Dipped-Tantalum-Capacitor-Radial-Lead-Lot-of-10-/252047885103?hash=item3aaf39832f:g:INsAAOSwd0BVwiOB

Sure. What's the best method for cleaning the board?

Here are some caps on the board as an example. So the 47 has to match, voltage not as important, what about Y3, A3 and A2?

I have a 580 logic board collecting dust and i've decided to put it to use. I have a couple functioning systems that I want to recap, but since I'm new to the process, I want to practice first. I'm using the instructions detailed here: http://www.classicmac.net/reference/caps/ My first...

Yup, already ran into that once. I died a little on the inside. :(

How's the display on the 580? Surely not as good as the 575, but bad?

I've been wanting to buy a 575 for years, but I can never seem to find any via craigslist or any other local sources and I've been unlucky in getting any off of ebay (won once, arrived completely smashed to bits). I'm getting to the point where I feel like maybe I should just buy a 580 off ebay...
