The programmer didn't cost too much (I got a pickit3) and I'm sure I'll use it again but trying to wrap my head around how to get the software working is a whole other thing since I've never used anything like this before. Its all part of the fun of this hobby though, I'll figure it out.

So I decided to order myself a batch from jlcpcb. First one down, four more to go. Still need to order a PIC programmer since all the parts arrived quicker than I was expecting.

Bad caps can definitely be the cause of no sound, I had the same problem on a Mac SE/30 recently. Replacing caps C3 through to C7 fixed it. Console5 sells cap kits for the SE/30. Here's the cap kit for the logic board.

There's prior art with this Mac SE & SE/30 version: https://github.com/dekuNukem/PicoRC/blob/master/mac_se_se30.md I'd imagine it'd require some pretty light changes to make it work with the Classic & Classic II

The pinounts are quite different so you'd need to make a custom cable: Classic II pinouts https://old.pinouts.ru/Power/macclassicpower_pinout.shtml SE pinouts https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?attachments/se-30-logic-board-pinouts-and-caps-png.33698/ Edit: Updated SE pinouts to the right ones
