Well yeah, but at this current point in time it's going strong.It will eventually. There are electrolytics in the logic board, and screen assembly/inverter that will go bad eventually. As with all vintage electronics, capacitors have to be replaced with age. 10, 20 years ago people were restoring antique radios and TVs made with vacuum tubes by a full recap.Clearly this is not something I am familiar with at all guys, sorry for all these questions. Other than this the oldest Macintosh I own is a Powerbook 5300cs that I refurbished, but it didn't require anything like this to get it up and running.
Same rules apply. And its not just computers. Take for example, vintage stereo equipment which is getting quite popular lately. They all have to be recapped by now too. Most of the pioneer SA series, flouroscan stuff, Marantz stuff, etc... list goes on.
