[QuadList] Colortec board 12 capacitor corrosion

[L.E. Odham]

Hi all , 



I had a interesting Saturday afternoon repairing board #12 from one of the 1011 colortecs here. 

A couple of the 270 uf mercury electrolytic capacitors had leaked over a period of time and the electrolyte had dissolved every bit of copper clad it came into contact with. 

It wasn't in a machine at this time, thank goodness. It had been  sitting quietly on the shelf a number of years as a 'spare'??? 



An ugly mess indeed....
