Hey guys,

I pulled a Commodore MPS 802 printer out  of storage. I figured it would be a nice upgrade from my MPS 801. Unfortunately, it did not power on. On closer inspection it appears that these two capacitors (attached photos) are done.

Actually, I don't think those are bad.  Most large caps have some glue on them to physically hold them to the PCB.  From the pics, it appears that is jsut glue

I believe the 802 has a fuse.  Is it known good?

Jim
