Default Re: Beware!

That's the boys Chris!
I have been sceptical of some X types before, I have seen blown ones in microwave ovens and in SMPS.
This though was the most spectacular I have seen, the trouble was the acrid smell and by the time I found what was the problem the cap was quite cool. Good job it was clipped lightly to the chassis and not near the cabinet!


I have replaced it with a nice new one from Valveman49
