Quadra 950 (Delta SMP-291AB) Power Supply Recap

IMG_6364 2.jpegQuadra 950 Power Supply, Input Board:

This one had two leaking caps. Unfortunately, Delta populated C905A and C905B with 16 V, 1000 µF Rubycon VXB electrolytics, a series so prone to leakage that Rubycon later advised manufacturers to stop using remaining stock.

As for this board, I pulled all the caps, gave it the complete decon treatment, ordered new caps and am waiting on Mouser to catch up after the winter storm.

Similar machines could probably do with a quick inspection before powering them on.
