I had to just scrape together all the electrolytics listed in the SAMS (except the PSU ones)...and just pull each board. Wasn't until the last two boards (two front ones) that I started seeing dramatic changes. I'd just hafta recap each module and put it back in to see what progress I was making. I was afraid to just keep plugging the modules in and out between EACH recap. The edge connectors and the soldering/trace quality is sorta scary looking.
Still NOT perfect and remains just a LITTLE fiddly...but no longer has the horizontal and linear instability. Also now comes on and is within about five seconds completely awake. It's NOT the sharpest thing I've seen...and do sometimes see it roll the picture once or twice after dramatic scene changes, but it's REALLY fun to watch old Star Trek episodes on it :-)
