FWIW the NeXTcube has the same shoddy SMT can caps, but last time I gave it a peek to see

Perhaps a different MFG or SKU of cap?
Pete, were yours actually leaking? Or just the same shoddy type?
Just the same type - I changed them as preventive maintenance. However I?d heard
beforehand that they do indeed leak and that others have had to swap them out to revive
seemingly dead cubes.
