[Amps] Surplus electrolytic capacitors

[Will Matney]

Below is a link to an article from Passive Component Industry magazine 
about bad electrolyte being used in some Taiwanese made electrolytic 
capacitors. From this, I would say that a bunch will be on the surplus 
markets around he before long. If so, buying these will not be a good 
idea as if they do work, it will be for about a 2000 hour life instead 
of the 5000 hour one as designed to be. Nichicon, Rubycon, and NIC 
aren't supposed to be effected because they're in Japan. Read the whole 
story at;
