The caps fail yet again! Good catch with all the dry solder joints as well mate. 👍

[@TheDefpom]

I bet it is the power brick, they do tend to get pretty hot when in use which makes the caps fail sooner than they should.

[@OFFTAPnz]

great stuff as usual, excited to see the old FT-101E when you get to it :D

[@JonnyFix]

I really need to get to it 😆

[@TheDefpom]

I think I should send you a “care pack “ lol, I’ve got stuff here I likely will never use, but you might.

[@JonnyFix]

You know as soon as it's gone you'll need one 🤣

[@kermets]

Awesome thanks...

[@JonnyFix]

You're welcome!

[@daShare]

Being a switchmode power supply did you use low ESR output capacitors?

[@JonnyFix]

Yes

[@brucenicoll4373]

Funny I just fixed my second unit both units was the power supply

[@JonnyFix]

Who'd have thought! 😄
