Vintage Apples Macintoshes have reached the age where their capacitors need recapping to avoid destroying the main board. Preventative maintenance is the only way to avoid the destruction of your expensive board.
Here is a list of Classic Macintoshes we can help with.

The capacitor damage can affect more than the main logic board. Macintosh TVs have a sub-board that commonly gets damaged by bad capacitors.
We will clean up the damage and replace the capacitors. Leaving you with the confidence that your board will continue working!
With proprietary chips on the board, the corrosive fluid in the capacitors can cause near irreparable damage. These chips cannot easily be replaced, requiring a sacrificial board. Recapping your vintage Macintosh before this happens is the best recipe for success.
