That's why we call it the smoke test! The smoke doesn't do any good trapped inside anyway.

I unfortunately did this with a Philco 41-608. I was testing the BOL and the person said they replaced the Ecaps but it smoked out bad and bellowed this hot stinky mess. I think the Trans is fried unfortunately but I have another.

Capacitor killers.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Capture and bottle that smoke to use as a mosquito repellent
