This week I finished off my first reel of 500 47uF tantalum capacitors. Woohoo.
I haven't been keeping records so I'm not sure exactly how many old Mac logic boards repaired that translates to. Most folks get eleven 47uF caps for SE/30s or IICIs but some foiks only get four for Classic IIs. So probably in the neighborhood of 45 - 50 old Macs repaired, or intended to be repaired by persons buying capacitors.
Keep up the good work, Liberation Army.

Keep up the great work to you, trag! Without you, I would not have performed such a beautiful SMD cap-replacement as shown here.
Yes thanks to you trag I resurrected three wonderful Macs (2 x SE/30s - both sadly have other IC problems though), and an 840AV. Out of interest - I've noticed many "high end" Macs around the Mac II/Quadra 700/Quadra 950 era have little to no capacitors - any reason why, and could you assume these Macs will ultimately last longer?
I recommend trag's service to all, and might be sourcing more in future from him!
