C15 on SE/30 Analog Board

[croissantking]

I was just re-watching the excellent recapping guide by @JDW, on YouTube, for the SE & SE/30 analog board.

On mine, C15 isn’t an electrolytic cap. Instead, it looks like this:

Is it a film cap? It doesn’t need replacing, does it?

Correct - it does not need replacing. A couple of mine also came with a film capacitor instead of bipolar electrolytic.

People who have boards with those white caps installed are lucky because they don't need changing. Too bad Apple didn't make all board using that particular cap!
