Default Re: Microvitec Cub monitor model identification and repair

ROE and ERO capacitors (Roederstein) are generally pretty well regarded in industry but in the cub they seemed to be a failure point and when they've gone they seem to be rather old already. I know the cubs at our school (showing my age) were switched on first thing in the morning and only turned off at night by a key operated contactor on the wall. Most of those yellowy gold caps seem to go short, ISTR when you took them off the board they were disconcertingly lightweight. Any cub these days probably needs all the electrolytics checking by now, a good resolder of the power resistors, smpsu and lop transformers etc, but we've been here in another thread.
