    Recap service recommendations?

    I have an Apple //c, //c Plus, and IIgs (ROM03). I think at least the IIgs has some capacitors on the motherboard, I'll have to check on the other two.

    Recap service recommendations?

    I have been meaning to recap my compact Macs, Apple II systems, and an LC475 and IIci and I really should do it before it's too late, old caps leak and boards get damaged (if that hasn't happened already). Once upon a time I thought I might tackle it myself, but I'm rusty when it comes to...

    Pre-emptive capacitor replacement...

    Pre-emptive capacitor replacement...

    Hi, This is my first time posting here... I've been a Mac user for a long time, and have a few classic systems in my collection that are running fine now, but I know that someday I'll have to replace failed capacitors in them. I would rather re-cap them pre-emptively than wait until they fail...
