My feedback on this project:

The photos and the list of caps is really helpful. Being able to know ahead of time what I need to order before sitting down at the bench and disassembling the machine helps a lot.

The links to Mouser aluminum electrolytic caps was unexpected and a bit disappointing. An example: I was browsing the threads, and I've got a Classic that works but really should be recapped. I saw the Classic thread and thought "this is useful, I'll just click the links and order the caps so I have them on hand when I get around to replacing them". Then clicked on the link and was shocked and amazed to find tin cans. Replacing with those seems silly and pointless, so closed the window and gave up.

I'm not sure this is the best format though. This is what the wiki is for. Forums are not really conducive to this kind of reference documentation and collaboration. We've already got a bazillion comments in this and several of the other threads that are not relevant to the purpose of the thread, all of which must be sorted through just to find the useful bits of information. Including this one. :p

Honestly, when there is so much chaff to sort through, I'll just identify the caps myself.
