Hi!

From the picture, I can see the capacitors you mention -- they're all of the failure-prone type, like many other all-in-one Macs (e.g. SE/30). Also, since you can see some gunk around C8, I think it's time to recap!

Following my experience with the SE/30, I'd recommend this procedure:

1) get a suitable tantalum capacitor set -- our trag is a very good source.

2) desolder ALL electrolythic caps on the motherboard

3) wash the board, and let it dry for a week!

4) solder the new tantalum caps

5) enjoy your Classic! ;-)

Detailed instructions for the SE/30 recapping may apply equally to your Classic... Good Luck!
