i got to clean up the aftermath of a big cap that went bang.
it was in a imsai 8080.
i and a fellow vintage computer collecter got 2 imsai 8080's at an estate sale.
told him to bring his over to the shop so i could reform the caps.
his son unaware of the danger took off the cover and plugged it in.
5 minutes later it exploded.
missed the kids face by a few inches.
at least all it took to fix it was some new caps.
