17 October 2003: Using my own BBC B (bought 31-12-1983), C2 exploded with a bang, a puff of smoke and a horrible stench...
The power supply works fine with this defective capacitor, at least for a short while (understandable considering what this capacitor does)...
I replaced it with another and the PS works as before. The replacement capacitor I got from a dead BBC PS, and that showed cracks all over the outer plastic casing same as the exploded one has... I hope it doesn't explode soon :)
