Reply to "replacing boards in my MTH 20-2358-1 Rock Island Rocket E-6 diesel set"

The caps actually don't need to be bulged to have a bad 5V board, I have a box full of examples.   Something I do to aid the health of still running 5V boards is replace the 330uf 35V cap if it's the WINCAP brand, half the boards I have in my dead box have that cap and it's bulged for most of them.  I have only seen one or two examples of other caps on the 5V boards leaking, that one brand seems to be the offender a lot of the time.
