Picked up this gorgeous Macintosh Classic yesterday from the original owner. Was told that last time they powered it up years ago it had vertical collapse (horizontal line on the screen.The capacitors on the motherboard had started leaking as is usual, but the battery was still intact. Replaced all those.The analog board had one cap in the vertical section obviously leaking. Replaced all the caps I had to hand and it works!Still has some brightness jitter so the remaining 5 will be swapped

And all recapped now, those last few were leaking quite bad. Now just setting up and installing System 6.0.8 on it.Even took the time to adjust the screen geometry to the correct 7.11" x 4.75" and had to tweak the magnets to get the bottom corner square.

Also played around with getting MacPPP and MacTCP working so I could connect this to the internet! System 6 is a little limited for WebBrowsers with only MacWWW in this case. MacWWW is limited it in does not support the Hostname field so only servers who respond at their IP address default will work.
