Hi Bob,
I didn't know the extent of the problem. And I do run the rig everyday, most
of the day. The replacement caps are physically bigger by 30-percent, with
the same lead spacing. They are rated 35 volts. Seems like T-T is trying to
address the situation. Thanks.

That's good to hear, Roy. As recent as two months ago they shipped a local
the same exact cap (C6) that was the culprit. I am glad to hear they have
finally seen the ligh.
I've got all the local Orion II owners (Phx area) that are contesters and
other high usage folks, to replace C6 with 35v cap. No failures yet.
