when we tried powering on this board for the first time before the rgh3, it would short the PSU and my first guess was an issue with the capacitors being fucky (i had suggested removing one of the most obvious leaky caps, which we did but to no success). Weeks another cap had turned into this.

i don't think falcons have issues with leaky caps, so this board must have been recapped by the previous owner with Sanyo ones - which are commonly sold in capacitor kits online. When i got it from the bonepile my first instinct was to recap it, with capacitors from another board (nichicons).
