       @twylo Those cursed !@# RIFA capacitors have caused me so much grief, and you can still buy the crappy things.They wouldn't be so bad with polypropylene cases but the resin cases crack and let the moisture in and then the smoke out.

       @twylo nobody wants to read a book of my retrocomputing memoirs, but if they did, I'd title it Varta Juice and RIFA stank.

       @twylo Yikes... those capacitors were more likely to ignite. I get that they "metalized" the paper... which I am assuming means they just coated it with thin metal flake... but still... heat + paper = bad. :D

       @twylo The capacitors that seem to have been specifically designed to emit as much smoke as physically possible when they fail. A+, just an amazing amount of smoke, fills up the room, very impressive and alarming!
