Hello,
So after about an hour of operation my Apple /// power supply blew one
film capacitor. There was a previous thread about this but I am a bit
confused on the cap in question. Apparently these caps are a common
problem. One of my Vulcan II power supplies also burned out a similar
film capacitor.
Holy crap does it stink when these things go.
Here are a few pics of the blown cap in the Apple ///;

Here are a few pics of the other cap in Apple /// that looks very
close to biting it as well;

I was thinking of replacing the 0.1 uF cap with this one;

Anyone have a good place to get the replacement cap for the 0.22 uF?
I'm also confused as to the settings on the caps? What does the
40/085/56 mean?
Thanks for any help!
