powering up old unused electrinics equipment
powering up old unused electrinics equipment
(OP)
I remember in electronics school in the 1980s we learned that the
best way to damage a very old piece of electronic equipment was to
power it on with full voltage. After a long time with no power caps
go to zero ufd, which will pass the full voltage and burn out other
components. Something like that. Im looking on the internet for
info about this, but I cant find any. Do you know of any?
tks,

2) Capacitors 'deform' and need to be "re-formed". You do that by slowly raising the voltage to them. Lots of threads in here on the subject. Use the search function.
