Okay. I guess it's time for me to update this topic.
"How much do I charge?"
Currently, I charge $10 USD per hour at about 2 to 3 hours. If you have an SE or SE/30 that needs recapping, Ill need an additional 24 hours so that I can do a "smoke" test and additional stress tests to make sure everything works great before sending back out. All other models and/or equipment needing recapping will be recapped without any additional test periods, as I don't have any spare copies kicking around here at home. I will never charge you for the 24 hour period; that's my promise.
"Where do I get the replacement parts from?"
My recommendation is to try 68kmla member Trag for the SE/30 recap kit he sells. Other places you can try are Mouser, Digikey, Radio Shack (although not always) and any other suppliers online for electronic components. I don't know if this is 100 percent accurate or not, but usually Macintoshes built before the SE/30 will use "lead through board" components. I think starting with the SE/30 and on forward, Apple decided to switch to "SMTs" or surface mount components for the advantage of real estate on the circuit boards. You can put 2 or 3 SMT resistors in the same spot where only one lead through board resistor can reside. Plus SMTs have the advantage of their contacts on one side of the board rather than poking through to the bottom side.
"Where are you located?"
I'm located in Northern Michigan, in the Traverse City area.
