That dead eMac power supply I dug out of storage surprised me with a 200V cap still holding a charge after 8 years

Was poking around a junk pile at a friend's shop last Tuesday and measured a capacitor that still read 198V, guess those old Apple power supplies really do keep their juice way longer than I expected has anyone else been zapped by a capacitor that was sitting for years?

@Sage_lewis10 same thing happened to me with an old monitor, had to short it with a screwdriver to be safe.

Yeah I got bit by a tube amp cap that had been off for years once.
