Recapping questions

[Acill]

Thanks for the recommendation guys. I can do all that,  and they are right  about the through hole recaps. Its not typically needed but only way to know is to remove a few random caps to test the capacitance. Cant do it in circuit. Shoot me a message and id be glad to give you a quote. Can even do it all ovee time if you like.

As far as why they dont need it is basicly they were top quality at the time, smd was newer stuff and well sucked at rhe time. All machines vuilt back then with smd need recaps now.

Do not use  tantalum they explode if installed wro g an ceramic are just wrong. I use better than required hybrid polymers from Panasonic. They will never leak or fail in your lifetime.

tantalum can explode as electrolytic can too... they are wildly used now, and some amiga extension card use them for more than 20 years now without any problems (CV64 - 64/3D, blizzard, cyberstorm... for exemple)
tantalum is an old technology, late 70's early 80's...

And they were designed with them. I refuse to not use the components the circuit was engineered to use. If you want better you use higher spec parts,  not different parts than intended.
