-The best thing you can do for your 30+ yr old retro computer is to recap it. The electrolytic capacitors just loose their juice (actual fluid) over time. Keep in mind, it doesn't matter if the voltage rating on the capacitor is higher than the original rating. +While not exact, these should be close enough for most .

-  * (5) Radial 47 µF (other diameter) +       * the highest component is the keyboard connector 
-  * (1) Radial 100 µF +       * the bottom mobo RF shielding flexes so the height is close but not always exact 
-  * (5) Radial 220 µF +       * slot cut-out, by the rear slots 
-  * (4) Radial 470 µF+         * 15mm deep x 150mm wide or  
 +         * 5/8" deep x 5 15/16" wide
  
-The Rev 6 motherboard needs 32 capacitors +Next we have some odd collected data. To me, the important info is Part Number. The Rough Date is literally that. I look at most of the custom chips and pull the date code off of them. I then add a month or two (production of chips + shipping + build time) to get the Rough Date.

-The motherboard is plenty safe to do yourself. Keep in mind the capacitors by the Zorro slots can be either radial (can sitting on top) or axial (lying on its side like a log).+^Rough Date^Mobo Ver^Part^Part Number^Reference Machine^

-Check out this link for some power supply recapping information. Remember, those big caps have enough stored electricity to give a serious shock or kill you. Follow proper safety procedures for discharging them before you go poking fingers or metal objects in there.  See ---   [[http://blog.worldofjani.com/?p=6375]]
