Roland SC-88 VL Capacitor Replacement

 I recently recapped my SC-88 VL.  I was unable to find the capacitor values on the web, so had to identify them all manually on the device itself.  Here is the list:

uFVoltageCount
1000161
2206.31
1006.36
1503
10168
106.31
47166

Make sure you remove the yellow glue / adhesive near the power regulators and the 1000 uF cap - over time it can turn corrosive and eat through the board.  Copious amounts of isopropyl alcohol and a little elbow grease will do the trick.
