The analog board on my 512E has finally bit the dust.  The video has compressed
into a thin vertical line while the rest of the computer still seems to work.
After consulting with some people and resoldering a bunch of joints, I have
deduced that it's C1 (a 3.9 microFarard, nonpolarized [high frequency]) capa-
citor).

I have looked around local electronics stores (i.e. Radio Shack) and they don't
carry non-electrolytic capacitors with that high of a capacitance.  If anyone
works in an electrnonics laboratory or has one of these lying around, I would
be more than willing to purchase it...

I'm getting desperate so please respond by email if you know where I can get
one of these...

Thanks in advance...

[P.S. on an unrelated note, after I opened up my case, I noticed that it has a
bunch of people's signatures on the inside - I assume that they were the mac
development team.]
