      no pics, but i had one that launched the can, shredded the insides, and took the bung/wires off the board. and that's just PCB mounted caps!

      chassis mounted caps i've seen obliterate themselves, put a hole the wood cabinet, bend the metal they are mounted on, shatter the tubes around them, mangle the tuning cap and dent the main transformer.

      Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

      You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

      Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

          What brand is that capacitor? The K vent suggests it might be Rubycon?

              I don't remember but it being a crappy LG, more specifically a 50PC1D, I don't think Rubycon were used.
