Tis a sad fate indeed suffered by all too many rectifiers .....


I trust my x wife 100 times more than I trust any electrolytic cap that's as old as I am

The reason you trust your wife more is because you are kinder to her than your electrolytics! If you read earlier thru the thread, the patient and proper reforming of the dielectric is the key. How long running time will it take to convince you the capacitors are okay?

I was more or less joking with you , if you noticed I said "my x wife" , no kinder there my friend .

Kinda like your "dry" joke , I guess humor & electrolytics just don't mix


and yes , I am interested in how long the reformed caps live .
