I found a "project" Macintosh LC (1) listed on CraigsList as "makes a clicking sound but no video, no HD" for US$20. Took it home and removed the power plug from the motherboard. Powered on the PSU and got some abysmally low values on the power rails. Dissembled the PSU, saw some leakage and removed the 8 typical caps.
Soaked and q-Tip'd it a bunch and let it dry for an hour. I recapped the PSU with caps I had on hand (not the correct values, but larger). Powered on and got good 12V, 5V, but only -4V. Close enough? Put it back in the unit and powered on.
Oops, that was 7.6. Found a 6 image and it's GOOD! Add one more to the collection.
