Ari [APz] Sovijärvi<p>Now here's something weird I came across when serving an old pinball CPU of a relatively rare platform. At first I had a jump scare - does the '78 build system still has its battery on, but this platform does not have nonvolatile memory at all.</p><p>If you look at the markings, it's obviously a cap, but if you look at it from the top side, the source of the confusion becomes clear: it's made by Rayovac! I never knew they made caps and it makes me wonder even more why on earth it has one Rayovac branded cap, when everything else on it is from typical component companies.</p><p>As it's pushing almost 50 years at this point, it needs to go but I'm wondering what's the deal here? Is there something special about this cap, that they had to buy just one from a known battery company, especially when rest of the similarly sized are not. Weird.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/retrotech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrotech</span></a></p>
