Unfortunately, the Mac LCIII that I would like to get working again most
definitely has capacitor issues as you can visibly see leakage around
several of them on the board. Unfortunately I don't know if there are
any further issues yet.

The other unit that I would like to get working is a IIgs. Right now
when powered on it only shows thick horizontal black and white bars on
the screen. I'm thinking it's most likely some of the onboard RAM that
is the culprit (ROM3), but there may also be a sign of a leaked cap or
two in that one as well.

Perhaps I should have said "for fixing" rather than "for re-capping". ;)
