Axial Caps Gone Bad
Posted by: Iesca on 2025-08-24 19:29:00
It's a bit of a truism that axial electrolytic capacitors don't normally go bad. But they still do sometimes! Always worth a check when going over a board that has them...

(This is a 128k analogue board that was upgraded at some point early on to a 512k.)

I found a couple similar to this on both an original 512 and also on an upgrade board from this era.
