My crappy attempt at soldering on some replacement tantalums. Not my best work, but I felt it was good enough for a test.

The Mac Color Classic logic board with the tantalum capacitors installed where the leaky electrolytic ones were. Some are a tad crooked…

Capacitor detritus, and the pads all cleaned up. I feel like I’m coated in that gross fishy burning electrolyte smell, and no amount of showering will wash it off… ugh.

A bunch of dust and crumbly gunk from leaky capacitors. Some have been clipped in to pieces, others are mostly intact (but still crusty and gross)The Mac Color Classic logic board all cleaned up with fresh shiny pads.
