You can waste lots of time ..or.. you can just save up and buy a Cap

The last load of mid 70`s & 80`s jukeboxes i got all had plenty of small
capacitors on and in every circuit board & box .
I never suspected high quality 80`s jukeboxes to have so many bad
capacitors in them . The Cap Wizard made quick help of cleaning up all
of these machines of bad caps .

You are absolutely correct, Ken, the Cap Wizard was a wonderful design
as was Bob Parker's design from Dick Smith Electronics.

Note that I use the past tense. I sold both of those units for many
years and now both are gone. The Cap Wizard apparantly has
disappeared forever, the DSE version of Bob's design may be
reincarnated. Let us hope so.
