Recapping a 90411 from a Wizard of Wor and I found that the 20,000uF @ C2 had the traces scraped back from the pad a little and the legs were soldered to both pad and the exposed trace. Didn't think to get a pic before I removed the cap, but this is what I found once I got rid of the old solder and flux.

The cap has a date stamp of 8047, so I assume these are original (the other caps on the board are all similarly old). Curious why someone thought this necessary and if it was something they might have done during original manufacturing.
