Thanks for posting.  If I had found the caps being too big, I probably would have been scared away!  odly enough the Two IIsi machines I've owned had been the most badly treated by previous owners yet work fine.

Capt'n, I'm thinking that the next time I run into this problem again, I'm getting a bunch of smaller sized ceramic SMD/SMT caps for those boards. They are just as good as Tantalums from what I hear but I use the black Tantalums because of appearance - they look like they belong there. And Ceramics are cheaper than Tantalums.
