Are you thinking of doing full recaps or just the problem areas? Full recap will take a little while. Lol. I’ve did a few of them years back. Mostly just hit the problem areas now and anything that looks suspect. 

How many different electrolytics are there? I am assuming that the problem areas are going to expand as time goes on. Any electrolytic that is 20 years old needs to be replaced at this point. It could solve problems that we don't even know are being caused by them.

I don’t recall the exact number. Ballpark figure…30. I forget how many little 22uf caps are on the boards.

I just mean individual specs, how many different TYPES of capacitors need to be used. Although knowing where they go, even though they are identical, would also obviously be necessary, although I'm sure I could map them all myself. I'm used to recapping without parts lists when it comes to CRTs.  I've built many recap parts lists myself. It would at least save me the trouble of taking all the caps off the board and identifying them and their tags on the board.

Eight different types including the electrolytic surface mounts if I recall correctly. Think the 1.6s have seven. I DM’d you a list from the forum that SoftMachine put together. I can send you a location list as well.

This shows a list of all caps for all revisions, including the psu and DVD drive and where they all go.

That looks really close to the list I had saved and sent Bowl. I couldn’t recall where I got it though as it had been a while. As I was saying to him it would be cool to have a sticky with cap parts, values, amount needed, and location. That would probably be helpful to many folks.
