Title: An old capacitor on trial
Post by: saturated on October 17, 2026, 09:16:29 PM
I removed this capacitor from the PS of a Craig 4201 23 channel base station

For some reason it fell under my suspicion and was removed

This was a while back and it's probably innocent

Time to exonerate?

Not having (or the room for) a sencore or tel-ohm mike or Heathkit etc I figured I could do a simple test to check for leakage

So far it's holding up at 5V  xP

I'll increase the voltage ⚡ in intervals and see what happens

Or doesn't happen  xP
