First order of business now is to replace ALL electrolytics as they will be at the end of their useful life. Also to replace the carbon composite resistors, especially the 1W ones which are to be replaced with 3W ceramic. I'm also going to replace the fans with some Sunon ones.
How do I know which is the correct lead pitch for the capacitors ? some appear to be 5mm, some 10mm, some in between. And there are 4 or 5 different options when ordering new ones
Also a good idea to remove all the cards and give the chassis a good clean and remove all the dust inside.
I would also like to be able to get the cal report from it, but I'm still having some difficulty with this.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I'm not familiar with Python unfortunatly, and I'm not sure I'm sending the correct commands and the response seems to be a bit rubbish
