Editing Commodore 64 Capacitor Replacement Guide (section)

== Recommended Tools & Parts ==
* 70 W temperature-controlled iron (2 mm chisel tip).  
* Solder-wick '''and''' spring pump – double-layer ground pads are stubborn.  
* Leaded 63/37 or SAC-lead-free solder (avoid cheap flux-core that leaves residue).  
* '''105 °C, low-ESR''' radial capacitors (Nichicon PW/PS, Panasonic FR/FC, Rubycon ZLH).  
* ask an expert or the AI about specialty caps like polyester and hybrid types. These have many advantages like longer/unlimited life and less noise, especially with regard to the SID and VIC filters.
* IPA, nylon brush, Kapton tape to insulate cap cans that sit against the RF shield.
