SMD caps replaced by radial caps
SMD caps replaced by radial caps

Description: As we all know, SMD caps in our beloved Amiga are dying massively.
I took me a bit less than 2 hours to replace them, using 2 irons.
I cleaned each point and checked tracks.
These caps had started to leak a little, so it was the good time to do it.

Ironically, the hardest part was to exchange the original radial caps ! I took me nearly 1 hours to change these 4 caps because they were soldered on both side, and the old join was very hard to take off.
