I highly doubt there would be many power supply capacitor failures in new units. Unless of course there was a bad batch of Electrolytic capacitors.
I suppose even Rubycon capacitors are allowed to fail after ±39 years. Curious the Mitsubishi branded capacitors didn't leak.
It will be a great opportunity for me to use my new Hakko FR301-03/P portable hand held de-soldering pump. No more struggling with a one shot solder sucker, and much less worry of scratching up or damaging a unobatium PWB.
Most of the time I believe I know what I must do. Other times I'm not quite so sure.
Finding the spare time to work on projects seems to be less and less.
Let alone dealing with my work space becoming more cluttered
