I have a Quadra 700 of this vintage that hasn't been powered up in 25+ years. Kind of wanted to fire it up again to experience the glory of A/UX one more time, but sounds like I'd have to replace all the lytics :/

Do it sooner than later, the cap juice loves to eat PCB traces. same with the clock batteries, get those things out of there.

I think the Quadra 700 (and one or two other models) has tantalums on the mainboard from the factory.
