SE/30 tantalum capacitor Mouser cart
Having been asked on Google+ for a list of the capacitors I used for my recap, I thought it would be useful to share it here too. Here is a Mouser cart for the logic board: http://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=348b0ddf92
I'll do one for the analogue board and PSU when I get around to recapping them.

Thanks for sharing. I have been flip flopping back and forth on what caps to get. I wanted the black caps for it would look nice. But 1) there was no black cap at 1µf @ 50V and 2) They were more expensive. If there was a 1µf @ 50V cap in black, I would have be saving for it.

Yellow looks good too! They are almost an exact colour match for the filter networks. 
True. I was going after that "It looks like the chips" look on my SE/30 Mobo.
Well, everything looks good in one's imagination.

I probably should have went with them instead of aluminium caps... Oh well. Btw, I used Mouser for my first order but on my second order, I went with Allied Electronics... Some things were half the price lol.
I actually ordered them from Farnell, but they don't seem to provide a means of sharing order lists. The price differences between suppliers are bizare. Some things are cheaper at one, some at another. With a large and varied order things tend to balance out, but with a small order it may be worth shopping around.
I got about 12 machines to recap (all my duos, the SE/30, 2 LCs, 2 IIcx, 2 IIci, 2 IIsi and so on) and though a large order would be cheaper for me, I do not have that kind of money and need to do this one machine at a time. I'll try to get some extras that will add up to one or two machines as I order them.
Also I noticed that the yellow Beaded Tantalums (GenieMac used in his mac: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/19821-mac-newbie-se30-vid-probnot-another-one/?p=200436 ) were at 1/2 price or more for a long time, now cost as a SMD/SMT Cap! GenieMac did an excellent job restoring that board!
So I'll look around for more places for a "lower price" but I'll use that Mouser price guide as a standard of what it should be. Who knows, maybe I'll get my black caps for a nice price!

You can always get a set of 15 caps (of your choice from my available types) for $10 from me. These days, my 47uF tantalum caps are black and rated for 20V. I mention it only because it sounds like some of you may have been having frustrations ordering caps. My posting is stickied over in the Trading Post.
