oh I see. yes, I was using the wrong term. Are GLU and SWIM chips for the SE/30 only available from salvaged boards? I guess other SE/30s and Mac II ? No way to make modern equivalants?

Apologies if this has been covered but I can't find the info. New to this one. Would be nice to have extras of course. Especially interested in the GLU and SWIM chips. I believe the other PLCC mounted chips can be replaced off the shelf or are otherwise available?

Yeah I put extra mask over the traces when I do these. Especially after watching that Adrians Basement video where he accidentally shorted 12v to 5v at C10 on the SE/30. And yes, no reason to not go with 25v for 16v.

These are my favorite caps for SE/30's and similar Macs but I never see anyone else using them. They've been flawless for me so far. Is there any reason they are not a good choice? https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/80-T591D476M025ATE60

Thanks for the info, Kai. I went ahead and bought it for my reloaded board.

What's the difference? Will a 16C work in an SE/30 as well?

Hello Everyone, My name is Steve. I've been restoring and recapping old macs in my spare time. Current project is an SE/30 reloaded board and as expected I have a few components left to find. I've learned alot from the people on this forum and others. Thanks!

Thanks. I got it all sorted out. Just needed a new UE8.

Hi All, I'm working on an SE 30 with a logic board video issue. Heres an overview of what (I think) I know so far... Analog board, CRT and PSU are fine. They work with other SE and SE/30 logic boards and have been recapped. No video - occasionally displays random dots, static. Then calms...

If it were me, I'd start by redoing or reflowing the solder joints on the analog board. Then do an analog board and maybe PSU recap. That way you're at least getting the preventative maintenance out of the way. That normally fixes jittery screens for me but if not, you can dive into testing...
