I powered up an IMSAI 8080 with the cover off that hadn't been on for years and one of the tantalum capacitors exploded and shot a chunk of itself across the garage and bounced loudly off of the door.  It was very exciting.


LOL! better leave the cover on the next time.... anyway how long do you think the c64 capacitors will last before take off?
