Re: Apple /// & Vulcan IIgs Power Supplies went ka-boom



Hello,

Sweet! I'll replace the caps tonight and see how it responds.

They sure do stink when they burn. WOW. Right up there with the smell
of burnt hair.

I'm thinking of drilling a few holes in an open section of the power
supply base on the Apple /// and installing a small 5v or 12v fan that
would push the air out the bottom. It just seems that the internals
would get so hot without some active cooling. I read the article
claiming that the design takes care of the heat properly but it still
seems to be quite warm in there.

I'll follow up with the results.

Thanks again for all the info!
