I used a solder suction pump along with the soldering gun. As soon as the solder melted it was sucked up by the pump. Helps a lot if you already have lots of experience using the equipment :-) You also have to make sure that when you solder the new caps, you can't use too much solder as there isn't much space around. > FYI, you don't need to match the voltage of the caps, just the > capacitance and diameter. Cf. http://www.capacitorlab.com/basic/index.htm > I got the caps after listing their ratings from the original caps themselves from http://www.badcaps.net/ They package took about 10-12 days to arrive though.
