An electrolyte flood. Not me; a friend. It's an 800v4.

Oh … the cap exploded onto the xformer … the supply might be fixable for the price of some caps …
In any case you have some nice parts …

Axiom fixed it. Good practice for all the Brystons that will be getting refurbished.

Peter,
Being a tech person, I'm sure you know this ... but it occurred to me I should have stated it anyway:
The voltages in this thing can be dangerous ... especially at those big caps.
Also you'll need to wait a min and check them after turning off power because they most likely will hold a charge for a while.
Anyway be careful not to short them with a tool or though yourself ... Ok, now you can have fun ...

Peter, you should know that Rich is a P.E. and hence professionally responsible for all advice he gives you. Take comfort knowing that if you vaporize your cojones, you can sue Rich for new ones.

Mojo may be speaking from experience ... although I can't say anyone needed to warn me about such things ... I would imagine it's best to keep pants on while probing around

Good lord Peter is still alive.
There were rumours he became a swami and moved to the alps in northern Tibet to ponder the extremities between Apple and Android OS.
