Come to the Feb. 18 TOGA meeting in San Jose, and perhaps technician Duncan M. will take on the job for you.

Thanks to the link in RobertB's signature, I dropped Randall Abel an email, asking him about the club...

Heh, you got to it before I could reply.  Yes, The Other Group of Amigoids (TOGA) meets every month, usually on the third Saturday.  Here are the details this month, straight from Randy:

The next TOGA meeting is next Saturday, July 21st.  We will be meeting at Mountain Mikes Pizza (The one on Branham Lane in San Jose) Lunch will be at 11:30am followed by the meeting around 12:30. Lunch is around $7 each if you want to go in with the club.  (Actually, people start gathering at 11 a.m., and the meeting ends around 2 p.m..)

I'll be bringing my Raspberry Pi computer to demo (http://www.raspberrypi.org).

...if random new people were okay to stop by...

Of course.

...that their tech Duncan may be able/willing to take care of the cap problem. Obviously, don't want to throw the guy under the bus and say he'll take care of it...

Duncan is a working man, so you can't swamp him with too much to take care of.  :)

What are these meetings like?

Very casual.  After lunch, Randy will tell some of the latest Amiga news and show software from the club's library on the club's A3000 and/or laptop running UAE.  Others will bring in their own hardware or software to show.

Does TOGA (or other Bay Area Amiga groups) have a facebook page or other web page where one can follow the activities?

To the best of my knowledge, no Facebook page... just the regular TOGA website.

Ah, we were wondering why the newcomers didn't show up.  :)  Anyways, Duncan examined an A3000 desktop (no problems in that one) from another user, gave a repaired A600 back to me (that one will be exhibited at the July 28-29 CommVEx), and took away an A2000 of mine that needs upgrading.
