COMPUTER Repair: My MCA Apple ][+ Clone Needs a Power Supply & 3 Sockets! (Computerized Start™ Live)

Back in September, I got COMPUTER, my Apple ][+ clone from MCA of Japan, powering up to the BASIC prompt. To do so, however, I had to disconnect the keyboard and use another Apple's power supply. I think I have what I need to solve both problems.

The power supply was easy: just buy another power supply on eBay (the place where I buy the things I later regret™). I have a cap kit on-hand, thanks to the "magic" of buying the wrong kit for another project, so we'll go ahead and recap it.

The keyboard might be even easier: I should have used sockets without a lip for the three sockets that have cables installed into them: the keyboard, the joystick/paddle port, and the memory chip at E3. I purchased some sockets that should fit the cables that go into these sockets, allowing the cables to make and maintain good contact.

Will I get the power supply re-capped without drama? Will I swap the correct three sockets? Will COMPUTER still boot? You'll have to watch to find out!
