Just curious, what about them goes bad? I've never seen one fail in 32 years of messin' with electronics. Not to say they don't fail, but I'm curious as to what you've found. Leaky? Shorted? Changed Value?

I have seen the leads corroded right off of one (thanks to mouse pee!) in an old Magnavox 21" B/W console I restored in 1989.

Cheers,
