Profile rifas

A Profile drive let out a huge amount of smoke. Opened it up and in the power supply I found four rifa caps. Three were the same size as in Apple II power supplies. The bad one was several times that size. Wondering why so many and about the big one.

Nearly all power supplies of that age with those old caps give up the magic smoke.  Just make sure the replacement capacitor is of the same capacitance and at least rated for the same voltage, and you should be fine.
