I cut the cover off and found the metallic seal intact with no cracks/fissures along the breakable edges (the x pattern). I will report back if there are ESR issues, but I expect it will test OK. Something to keep an eye on over the next few years. Likely will examine yearly....

stj: They are 10mm pitch pins and it's 50mm in height. Hard to find anything else on these old caps from Nippon Chemicon except M-20% tolerance. See attached photos. The overview of the unit shows the purple large cap on the front right. The dome is raised a bit compared to the rest, so figuring that was starting to bulge (on it's way at least).

Hi all: Bugman here, and a biologist by training but into tech since high school and dabbled in repairing things, anything. Began in computer science and coding (Fortran...so I'm old!) but got bored standing around waiting for programs to run on an old Conrtol Data Corp (CDC) main frame computer on campus, no PC's back then. After that the normal progression through the first IBM's and Macintosh over my career in science. Now I'm retired but more focused on home automation and AV stuff in my home theater. I've also built all my home PC's from components for at least 30 years, but never tried to...
