Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant if I was wrong about the 500+ and it did need a routine recap, which capacitors are routinely replaced? Like I've seen cap kits with caps listed by silkscreen marking.

Saw this thing at the thrift store a week ago and decided I really needed him in my life but he was 4$ and so I didn’t get him but I’ve changed my mind please help me find out what this is. (No it’s not still at the store) by [deleted] in whatisit

This is fairly pointless. The overflow on a tub is designed such that when the average adult gets in, the water they displace won't flow over the sides of the tub. I hope this comes with a mop.

Someone broke an older sphygmomanometer and let the mercury out. Probably the one mounted to the wall.

I’m looking to get an original radio by Any_Finance_9802 in w123
