Brown drop caps

[madlabs]

Hi All,

Working on a parts order for my Predicta Holiday. I have quite a few older CD "brown drop" caps. As I understand it, those are film caps but they are older. Not sure of the date but I got them from one of my Elmers so I know they have been kicking around for a while.

Considering the PITA to pull the PCB's on the Predicta, is it foolish to use these? The parts bill is adding up and I would like to use 'em but don't want to be penny wise and pound foolish.

Thanks!
