== Extra Tips == * '''Replace all electrolytics at once''' โ Piecemeal replacement is not recommended due to similar age and stress. * '''Check for PCB damage''' โ Leaked electrolyte can corrode traces; repair as needed before fitting new parts. * '''Use quality brands''' โ Cheap capacitors may fail prematurely; always use reputable manufacturers. * '''Keep capacitor height low''' โ Some areas have tight clearance due to the CRT and case. * '''Inspect connectors and wiring''' โ Ageing insulation and oxidised connectors can also cause instability. * '''CRT safety''' โ The Osborne 1โs CRT carries high voltage; avoid the anode cap and discharge if necessary. * '''Fuse check''' โ Replace any blown fuses with the correct type and rating.
