Hey Ian,

Define cheap

Here for example:

Forgive my question, but do you have any experience with repairing power supplies and such? These things can be quite harmful to your health if handled incorrectly. (Just making sure... better safe than sorry ;D )

In my experience the tantalum capacitors like to explode

These are 10mf caps.

In case ask ebay ?

In my experience everything likes to explode

But it might be just me
