Hi to
Mal & LF Group,
What
Mal has said reminds me of when I used to do TV repairs in the days of VALVES
(before solid state). A TV which I had on the bench monitoring for a fault must
have had a faulty power supply electrolytic cap or had gone over-voltage on
the supply rail, the cap had got very hot & exploded & the metal
case of the cap fired like a mortor shell & burst half way thro' the top of
the wooden cabinet (and yes it was real wood, not chipboard like today). I
hate to think of the fact that I had been peering in the thing a few minutes
before.

Most Amateurs that I have spoken to do
not realize the danger involved. One of the bean
can size electrolytics 200 mfd capacity exploding would be like
firing a mortar, probably demolish the house in some cases.
