When I approached recapping my SE/30 I got the impression the SE/30 needed more attention. It could be that simply more people were INTERESTED in recapping them. Well that's all on that subject or we'll have to start a thread on the relative reliability of SEs.
To the best of my knowledge it's more because the SE/30 introduced SMD capacitors, and reflow temperatures at the time were a bit high which compromised the seals (though there could be other causes as well). The SE, on the other hand, did not use SMD capacitors at all. David
