Question about Mac Plus Recapping.
Posted by: IlikeTech on 2016-12-27 07:35:20
So, I recently got a Mac Plus. It works, and it has audio, so does it need recapping? I can do radial and axial, but no SMD. I know the analog board needs recapping.

Thanks.

Not the same kind of capacitors, so far have not seen a Plus with capacitor problems.

Ok. Yeah, I think it was a model that had very few logic board problems.

never have seen any capacitor going bad in the Analog side either...

Oh ok. That makes my job easier.

Thanks

Cracked solder joints on the analog board are common but otherwise there is very little that goes wrong with them.

I had to replace a capacitor on an SE analog board once, the video displayed a single white line, but that's it.  ALL of the 8MHz compact Macs are extremely well built.
