....or liability, or for warranty reimbursement - the warranty contracts always stated we had to use OEM -supplied parts. GE upgraded the cap to a 100V cap in 1992-3ish - they "blue-sheeted" each package. The blue sheet was either a mod or special instruction, similar to RCA's SPS instruction sheets. They stuck with Marcon 105 degree caps for the replacements - we were using Panasonics from Digi-Key for all repairs by then, long after warranties had expired.
