And now you have got me worried, will go and check my 'crew' out right away.
Just checked all my 8050's and an 8012 and a 8010.
Of the 3 8050's two are mains only , and I found the
22 uF/16 V caps were just starting to leak. The 220 and 470 microfarad caps
did not show sign's of leakage. I have not investigated the battery model yet as it
contains many more electrolytic's than the mains version.
As for the 8010 and 12 models both are battery versions and use the same caps and
I found in both the small 22uF/16 V are also starting corrosion on their pads too.
Note that despite the same value they are not of the same series or manufacturer !.
So this has been a timely reminder to check old gear with these damn little electro's
otherwise the little bastards will be happily chewing through your favorite gear.
Many thanks to kelchm for bringing this to our attention, all be it at the expense of one
Of his "50's" (hopefully still salvageable).
BTW interesting to see the display mod up and running, will look cool I'll bet.
