The yellow caps are fine I've used them exclusively (ignoring being too broke or away from sources of new parts) till the last year in my radio and TV restos, and have never had a problem with them. I think I've only heard of others finding 1-2 bad ones in all my time. I've found other types cheaper in bulk last year online (finally started buying parts online then) so I've been mixing other new stock in.
Just gotta be careful not to melt the case on the yellow ones with the soldering iron...Too deep and you ruin them that way.
