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.
