Quoted from vid1900:Next section will be Sys6 power supply.
Important note to novices ( just learned this the hard way )
Couldn't wait for Vid's power supply tutorial and just recapped my system 7 board.
OBSERVE POLARITY!
The first couple caps I pulled off the board had a very prominant + sign on the black stripe, so I assumed that was industry standard and installed all the new caps on the board with the black stripe to the + solder pads. Call it a rookie error, but all the new caps have the black stripe on the - side. Needless to say, when I plugged it back in it didn't work and I hope I didn't f%#k anything up. Was only powered on for a second, got a strange hum and I switched it right off with no visible damage done. Now have to desolder all those caps. 
Anyway - polarity!
And Vid, keep the tutorials coming, you da man!

Here's a pic of how NOT to re-cap a power supply. (and not to do board work late at night)
Quoted from Patofnaud:Welp, they got some in right. Don't that count?
Nope, that C5 in the pic, I already flipped, it was wrong too.
