Continuing on with my SE/30 analysis.
(As before, these pics are of decent resolution so you can click on them individually for a better look!)
Here are some closeups of the batteries before they were disarmed.

Shiny ICs are a surefire sign of leaky CAPS!

Same for the older board as well but the worse dust may have actually helped by soaking up the CAP fluids.
Finally, the bonus PDS board.

It's a MacCon AAUI connector type ethernet board.
Time to buy 2 sets of Tantalum CAPs so that I can treat my SE/30 boards to what I did for my Iici.
BTW, the power supplies were different for these 2 cases as was the shielding paint on the inside. The older one had a no-name power supply and a thick black dull primer-like black paint. The newer albeit much uglier burnt case had a Sony power supply and had the silvery inner plastic layer similar to the inside of my Iici that I have seen much more of. Is one particular PSU better than the other? I plan to use the best innards in the pretty case and discard the the burnt (chunk missing) ugly case and keep the leftover innards as backups.
Much work to do to prepare my SE/30 for its next 25 years!
Anyways, I hope you like these pics.
