Hi Bill,
I know electrolytic caps have a bad rep, but it is interesting to me that I've never encountered any problems with them in anything Bosch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague
My sources are the usual Digi-Key, Mouser, and ebay, but in that 7/9 FAQ link I have in the Yazaki piece, there are Mouser catalog numbers given. Even 8 years ago when I wrote that I thought it was highly optimistic to expect any of these units to be undamaged, but yes, if I would have been a 7/9 owner I'd have gotten in there early. I wonder how many of these became the end-of-life reason for a 940.
Thx for the nice words Bill.
