autumn sleet What is a supercap mod?

That's a fabrication. That's no mod, it's called a "partial recap", which I'm more annoyed with than lack of practice, only way to do it is with full recaps, all those capacitors are aged and don't have their original capacitance anymore.

@sour sierra
Also it's possible to fix the board aesthetically and invicibly. Copper tape pad reconstruction and white pcb mask for the trace point that was scraped.

(For future reference never lift, ever, if you're going to snap it off it takes some patience, no force and strictly CW and CCW back and forth, no tilting or upwards forces. Extremely small motions that only puts stress on the cap legs.

Please practice desoldering too on scraps and kits made for practice. Though I will say that the big cap here most of the time has SMT red glue holding down the cap tray, making it difficult to desolder, so twisting for that one cap can be a bit safer, but with proper technique. Getting high quality braid, flux and other equipment is paramount though, and a lot of practice)

I'd get it at that price, fix (with a statement about a lifted pad being one of the repairs) and resell it if it didn't involve shipping to Sweden.
