Hi there!
I completed the Crack around a week ago. While I was doing the voltage checks, I must've shorted something and a bright spark erupted somewhere around the blue capacitors. I cautiously redid the voltage checks, and everything checked out, so I proceeded to use the Crack. No problems!
However, due to the sheer paranoia, I decided to recheck the output capacitors today. My DMM can't measure capacitance, so I discharged the capacitors with a screwdriver, and measured the resistance across the leads. It should go from 0 to infinity, right? Both of the blue ones stop at around 3 KΩ. The brown ones hit infinity.
Is this something to worry about? Should I replace them? Just wanna be sure before I install the Speedball upgrade.
Thanks bunches!
