[QUOTE="Llew, post: 1045680, member: 175007"] Capacitors? Pah, it was condensers in my day :D BTW, recycling is all the rage these days: years ago, we used to reform stored or aged electrolytics (the big ones in power amps and radios) br passing a current at the cap's rated voltage through a high value resistance for a few hours until the cap's working voltage had been achieved - if it didn't burst before it had reformed o_O [/QUOTE]
