Sorry folks, are we talking about the string of smoothing electrolytics or a ceramic RF filter cap here? I'm curious about this as when I switched my 2m amp on recently which hadn't been used for abo

Thanks, looks like I got a timely warning I'll change them pronto. Has anybody looked into this? You would think that a small breakdown / healing of the dielectric would be muffled by the can and not
