I like originality, so I usually do replacement electrolytics. Modern electrolytes should outlast me. If you care about aesthetics and don’t want electrolyte, take a look at organic polymers. You can get them in a similar style metal can package and have no liquid. If you don’t care about aesthetics and don’t want electrolyte, chip-style tantalums can be used (Apple originally used these in the higher end machines like the IIfx). - Dylan -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
