Hey Kristian,

I can help you out with leaky caps:

I'm in NorCal if you feel like driving ;-)

Cheers

@Kristian:

Sorry for the delayed response. I've been quite busy and hadn't checked back :-/

We're practically neighbors! I'll email ya.

And yes, I'd replace'em all, just to be safe, because they WILL leak in the future (or dry up).

From your description further down, it sounds like it's the leaky caps that's your problem.


@vk3heg:

Quality beats quantity! :-)

But seriously, I used the macro feature of my digital camera, and I was able to come close. Use plenty of light, so that way the photos don't come out shaky. If you use flash from close range, I put some paper or something to dampen the brightness and get less specular highlights (which makes things hard to see as they become totally white).
