I've recently acquire a Color Classic. When I picked it up the battery was fine but you can clearly tell the caps been leaking so I ordered a cap kit. I just removed the caps and unfortunately torn the positive pad on C8 cleanly off. This is what it looks like now: Board after some basic...

Oh yea should be fine for me to test boot. Though I did buy a new line receiver since I kinda don't trust the one that rusted off. I mean I already need to buy new caps, Q3...and UF8 (I knocked out one of the pin when I was removing it off the board to clean the pads)...so might as well. I'm...
