Zenith 'Lytics Caps NOS
This seller has some nice NOS Zenith parts, including NOS Electrolytic Caps and fuses (all Zenith) . . .
Worth a look if you need them. http://www.ebay.com/sch/buggybandit/...p2047675.l2562

It is my understanding that even NOS caps go bad faster if they're sitting unused for years and years. Looked like a few caps started leaking in a NOS Ford Pinto/Mercury Bobcat 8-track stereo about 3 or 4 years back when I decided to throw caution to the wind and apply full power right away. I didn't have a variable-rate transformer anyway.

Old electrolytic capacitors go bad with age whether they're sitting on a shelf or used in a TV. These would only have value if you wanted to hollow out the cans and "restuff" them with new capacitors. But you normally just use the cans already in your TV. Save the $9.99 and spend it on some other parts that actually work.
Some people try to "re-form" old electrolytics, but that's a crapshoot at best when you're talking about caps that are 50 or 60 years old. Phil Nelson |

I was posting if someone was looking for the cans more than anything. I know the insides age just like any other 'lytic caps from the period - used or un-used.

I would thing sitting on a shelf would be better than sitting next to a hot 5U4 day-in, day-out for decades...

Still, not know the genetics of the Zenith units in the auctions, I'd pass. I'd have to know they were Mallorys from the 80 or 90s to even consider them. Cheers,
