Firecracker caps

On the other hand, my still pristine-looking A77 Mk IV has had no such issues.

About 10 years ago (mid 2000s), I sent it up to Nashville for a couple of minor physical repairs (brake bands, slightly bent reel spindle), and had a head alignment and electronics check-up, and it's all at or better than factory spec. There was no discussion about "firecracker caps".
