I was busy recapping a Classic II though that is no excuse X^D . At least I got it working again, but with no sound (yet)!
The Logic Board on the SE seems to stable to not need a recapping, but just in case, be prepared in a year's time or so. Its the Analog Board you need to look out for. Those caps in the weak areas (like C1 by the Flyback Transformer) do leak and give problems. I forget who it is but some one here has a whole recapping kit for Analog Boards which includes a new flyback transformer, caps, diodes and other parts. Find that person and buy a kit!
There is another post where somebody replaced the soldered battery with a Watch/ PC CMOS battery like on PCs. I think this would be wise and easy to do. Just need the battery holder to solder in place and the battery to put in it.
Accelerators - Save $/£ 5 to 10 a week and by within a year you will have the cash for one! Just throwing my 2¢ of advice around.
And Listen to guys like 3583Bytes, who own SEs, they can tell you exactly what you need in today's world. The last time I owned an SE is was in the 1990s. I can tell you what I know from the past and what I currently own, which none are an SE. I do have an SE/30 that I'm trying to revive from the dead though. And I just got that Classic II I found in the trash working but without sound. So, I'm getting there.
