I'm just shaking my head on this because looking at the 190 power area on the last pict Sherry H. posted and having seeing it on my 190, that is a tiny area to recap. No way one is getting a soldering iron to fit there.

But I'll ask this stupid question since I have been thinking about doing it on my Duo's and their power area is similar to the 190's; can a SMT/SMD Ceramic or Tantalium cap replace the larger caps in the DC-DC Power area? When I recap, I overrate the caps, putting in a 20V or 25V cap instead of a 15V if it fits. In most cases I done it, they do fit. Only in the LC power supply did I find larger overrated caps to be too big to do a recapping with.
