Macintosh IIfx: Five Year Tuneup time again for my pet IIfx

[Trash80toHP_Mini]

It's about that time again. This puppy still starts right up without issue so nice new (last tuneup) batteries are good and still no signs of leakage, troubling odor or magic smoke emanations from anywhere or anything in the lovely box.



First step is to ask if I lucked into an all Tantalum IIfx or if these are decaying tanks of Electrolytic goo. Was going to look 'em up, but figured the pic and a posted answer from someone would be helpful to others.

More stuff to follow: gotta get one of my Savvios hooked up to the long neglected ATTO Silicon Express II. SCSI2SDv6 may be better some day, but wouldn't sound right. Thankfully the sleeping bat Quantum drive is still spinning away for proper sound effects.

The only leaky aluminum electrolytics on my IIfx machines were in the shutdown circuitry. I replaced them after the machine didn't want to shut down automatically (just got me to the screen telling me to turn it off manually).

I think I have FWB Jackhammers in my machines since I can't boot from SEIV (and they are better for external video raids anyway).  I do have some SE II's but have yet to see if they are bootable, saving them for the IIx machines.
