" ** The attached pic is of a 6800uF, 80 volt, 85C electro of recent
Taiwanese
manufacture, which has not been subjected to abuse in any way. When removed
from the equipment last Friday, it was completely open circuit and with the
top slightly bulged.

When the seal was broken, it hissed like a can of beer does when you pull
the ring and brown liquid bubbled out the opening.

The brand is " Su'scon " - no kidding.

Thanks. Westnet newsgroup only has "alt.binaries.sex*****" then it goes to
" alt.binaries.sleazemovies" No "schematics" in sight.

** The other 6800uF filter electro in the same amplifier ( Ashton BA400H)
is in similar condition - not quite as advanced but would have failed
completely very soon.

I reckon it the whole batch is involved.

You do know that "schematics" is before "sex" in an alphabetically
sorted list, don't you? If it didn't, most guys would never find it. :)

There are two kinds of people on this earth:

The crazy, and the insane.

The first sign of insanity is denying that you're crazy.

I once had a 100uf tantalum explode in my face. One of the really old ones,
a metal tube with the ends epoxied in. Everything went white until the
paperdust cleared to the sight of the rest of the lab pissing their boots at
me disappearing into a miniature snow storm.

Many people can't easily access ABSE, that's why it's a bit silly to
post there these days. Would be much better if everyone simply posted
images to a web based photo host or other such site, then *everyone*
can see them.
Most ISP's include your own web space for free.

BTW, limited access to ABSE is available on the web here:
http://www.usenet-replayer.com/groups/alt.binaries.schematics.electronic.html
Takes a while for images to get cached though, and often not
everything shows up.
The cap photo in question is there.

You got me! The first item in "alt.binaries.s* " is "alt.binaries.seduction"

Very likely I'd imagine. Is this a 100/120Hz filter cap presumably ?

Sloman's problem is that he's intensely, overwhelmingly, repulsively,
obnoxiously, sane.

Sometimes I wonder with the frequency that 'Exxon-Mobil' appears in his
posts, along with other keywords.

Mind you I was just having a leg-pull really. ;~)

**One like this?

They still make 'em. They're still a very good cap. Very long life and
excellent characteristics. Often used in military applications. They tend to
be expensive.
