(K, technically this is test equipment, but it's in the 'tech' category... idk)
I'm talking about those cardboard-covered electrolytic capacitors. Like these big blue ones in my power supply. The unit works, but it does weird things sometimes, like voltage fluctuations. It also EMP's my usb headphones if I get them too close while turning it on (but that might just be inadequate shielding or something). Just wondering if this type of cap is expected to be bad after 50 years, like waxy paper caps are.
(The next calibration due date is 1968. lol)
While we're on the topic of caps, can anyone answer
this?
