So far I have only had to replace the mains bypass caps (when they went bang crackle and let out foul smelling smoke) in 1x IIe and 1x IIgs PSU. That still leaves another IIgs, two more IIe and a clone II+ PSU to go.
Yes, the line filter cap (class X2 oil-impregnated, typically 0.1uF) is a weak spot. If you plug your machine into a power strip with filtering, it is unnecessary. Replacements aren't difficult, but the odor is a problem. ;-) -michael NadaNet and AppleCrate II: parallel computing for Apple II computers!
