As you can see from the attached pic, i've come into possession of a 2200uF 6.3V original Sanyo Oscon.
Funny thing was, it came from a $20000 digital oscilloscope that uses a $20 FIC VA 503 Super Socket 7 motherboard as its backplane. The other caps on the board all died, but this Oscon had to have been keeping it going. We decided to do a preemptive board replacement before the other caps totally grenaded everything, as the rest of the stuff in the scope is all custom parts that i'm sure are expensive.
I sourced a replacement board, as i may recap the 503 sometime, but we needed the scope back up and running quickly..
For reference, that's a Via KT266 northbridge, a 330uF 6.3V Oscon (in the size more often seen), a 3300uF Nichicon PW, and a 2200uF Rubycon MBZ.
