[14:55] <jonas1290> hi
[19:42] <daftykins> greetings all
[19:42] <daftykins> great news, i got the RIFA capacitors for the Apple II this morning and spent the afternoon with my Dad working on it :D
[19:42] <daftykins> https://imgur.com/a/nqwLT4g voila
[19:46] <penguin42> RIFA?
[19:47] <daftykins> old brand of AC filter caps
[19:47] <daftykins> they typically go bang and let forth a lot of smoke if you just plug these old beasts in 
[19:48] <penguin42> ah
[19:48] <daftykins> they seem to just be for RFI reduction i think i read? commonly labelled as 'X2s' anywho
[19:49] <daftykins> so amazed it booted up after that though, i didn't do a thing 
[19:50] <daftykins> it was a bit unreliable on every reset, mind
[19:50] <penguin42> daftykins: The X2 thing is a safety classification: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/technical-articles/safety-capacitor-class-x-and-class-y-capacitors/
[19:51] <daftykins> ah yeah
