Title: Cap kit question
Post by: ChadTower on January 06, 2005, 03:07:15 pm

I'm in the middle of a cap kit here...

...and I've noticed some of the solder on some of the cap leg contacts flows into adjacent contacts.  Should I preserve this when I replace the caps?

yep you want to make sure that it looks the same as before you started.

Another thing--make sure the cap is as low to the board as they can go--you don't want some crud to get wedged in underneath them (unlikley but can happen)
