Macintosh Plus one megabyte foil capacitor repair.

I had to repair a trace that came up when I was de-soldering. It’s so easy to work on these. It’s it’s insane. I’ve overdid it with the solder, but it’s working so I wasn’t gonna fix and I don’t wanna break it. It is my first Macintosh. I also included the bag thatI bought the capacitors from. just confirmation the parts from these guys are good.

thanks to Ben Chapman for writing this guide/story ‘vintage computer up in smoke’ it’s got directions and a link to buy the part.

Now for that sticky drive oh man, I’m not pulling apart though. I’m gonna try to manage it without doing that.
