   Soldering new capacitors on a Commodore 64 printed circuit shouldn't be too   
   hard to do.   
   Finding the capacitors might be the hard part if You don't have any place near   
   by to buy them.   
      
   I use to buy parts from Radio Shack because they were located closer to my   
   home than the Wholesale Radio-TV Parts stores were.   
      
   Also I think the C=64 PC Board is an ordinary double sided board instead of   
   a multi-layer PC Board, or Surface Mounted PC Board.   
      
   If a electrolytic capacitor POPS it is easy to see which one on the PC Board   
   gave up the ghost.   
   And then there is the smell.......
