lol intense? You asked me if I would reduce the price of a recap to a LC-III because you have already changed 4 caps.

and i said this:

Sorry but i just don't roll that way.

If you or anyone sends me a MB, Its going to get a complete service, that way at-least I know for sure the caps are done right.

and the board has been properly cleaned and tested.

The last thing you need when working with this old vintage stuff is more variables.

All this aside, If you have already replaced 4 caps with your LC, you should just continue and change them all.

like wise with this q605.

Also i am rather serious when it comes to cap jobs and people sending me stuff to work on.

Once someone pays for something, they expect results.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to post part of a private message here. Yes currently Uni is EXTREMELY time consuming/intense/busy for me at the moment and funnily enough I don't have time to locate the Quadra 605 in the garage to test varying combinations of RAM to see if it was RAM problem rather than a capacitor problem.

And yes I did ask you the question on a reduced price, because I thought it was perfectly reasonable to ask, considering I have the replacement tantalum capacitors for the LC III meaning (Well as I thought) the price of the capacitors would no longer be part of the service.

As for replacing capacitors myself, never again. I was able to replace 4 of the larger ones in my LC III successfully but the risk of damaging the a board attempting it again is too high.

I never said you were not serious about capacitor replacement.
