I recapped the video/sync board and I at first gave in to temptation to "J hook" the parts on the top side of the board. My temptation soon went in another direction when I discovered that some of the caps that had already been replaced were loose on the foil side of the board. After seeing that, I was forced to unsolder the board and remove one wire in order to gain access to the underside. Since I had the board out, I replaced the caps the "correct" way. Fortunately, I didn't have any trouble with the traces lifting from the board. It should be interesting to see what all is involved in getting the other boards to an accessible position. Like most portables of that era, they crammed what would normally be found on a large 21" console chassis into a small portable chassis.
