As the title says - trying to find an ID on this exploded cap. I took apart/serviced this Model 50Z and discovered on the floppy riser card this cap let loose. Almost missed it at first, but I saw a burn mark on the PCB and traced it upwards.

The cap right next to it appears to be a 4.7microF 35V so if I cannot find anything official I will probably just go with that. Still, wanted to see if I could find schematics to make sure.

The board on the front side says "Sysgen PSA1050 ASSY 30-02129" and on the back it says "41-02129-01 Rev C".

Also, no reason I can't just replace this with an electrolytic cap of same values right? I don't have tantalums on hand.

Thanks

Replace all 3 (C5/C7/C8) ...if C5 is also 4.7uf/35v then that's likely the value - you can use electrolytics

Yep that’s what I ended up doing. Riser card works fine.
