Blizzard 1230 IV - capacitors

Hello does Blizzard 1230 IV card need recapping ? I see only one silver thing next to battery. Is that capacitor electrolytic (near SCSI port) ?

It's the oscillator for the RTC.

Thank you for answer. That explains it is near RTC chip on all blizzard boards. So no recap needed. Excellent and thanks again.

Nope, there are no electrolytics on it. The battery may need replacing, although even if it's knackered I don't think the one that is on there is likely to leak.
