If you haven't already, you should open it up and remove the PRAM battery. I've seen what happens when the battery bursts and then sits for a few years... not pretty. The caps aren't as big of a deal in comparison, they just need to be replaced when you want to use it.
- zargon 5y agoThe caps are a big deal, just not as bad as the battery. The caps leak corrosive electrolytic fluid which eats traces and corrodes component legs. Most un-restored SE/30s require trace repairs at this point due to leaky caps. The longer the original caps remain the more extensive the repairs.
