Hi Charles,
Yes, the physical size of the new electrolytics really is quite amazing...!
They pack a LOT of "ufd." in a VERY small can anymore---even at high
voltage.
I believe the popular term for these things is/was "photoflash capacitors".
I see them often at Hamfests in this area selling for as little as fifty
cents apiece! Needless-to-say, I always stock-up whenever I can...
