Oh yeah, it must've been quite a bang! I wish I would have been in the room to hear it!! It exploded with enough force to break the neighboring ceramic strip, which has diodes with thick leads soldered into it! (see pic)
The exploded capacitor was the filter capacitor (C312 -- 4uf 200V @ 85C) for the +100V rail, so it's no wonder I was seeing lots of noise on the output. The only remaining capacitor on that rail is a 5uf 150V decoupling capacitor.
I happen to have a small supply of 5uf 150V Sprague 30D caps, so I'm going to solder one in there and replace the two unhealthy 100uf 12V and 100uf 15V capacitors with 100uF 35V Sprague 516D capacitors for the time being. Once I figure out exactly which replacements I'm going to use (preferably 105C or 125C rated), I'll post the info. I'm just going to go for the (nearly) wholesale lytic replacement in this thing since it's in amazing condition and I'd like to preserve it as much as possible.
Capacitors to replace:
C118 2uf 150V (using sprague 30D replacement)
C312 4uf 200V (The SM parts list says 4uf 35V...
)
C345 5uf 150V (Using sprague 30D replacements)
C367 100uf 12V
C448 5uf 150V (Using sprague 30D)
C457 100uf 15V
The only one that really NEEDS to be replaced is C312, but the ESR on the remaining ones is near double that of NOS parts (2011 date code), although they measure good on the capacitance meter. C448 is also browned from heat. There's two 17uf 150V caps that are seem perfectly healthy, which is no surprise to me. I've yet to run across a failed one of those.
There's also a 4W precision resistor that has started to brown from heat, so I'll be checking into that as well. I'm going to have to trace out the circuit a bit to confirm which one it is, but I think it's R450 (2.09K) , which is one of the voltage divider resistors for the +100V floating power supply. It should still be healthy enough to keep.
