Default Re: Re-anodising heatsinks?

There's also a guy in Sweden who takes aluminium electrolytic capacitors, de-cans them and re-homes the innards in little hardwood housings. His web pages are quite lyrical about the improvements to be obtained and the effects of different woods. No mention of life-expectancy. I'm afraid I didn't bother to save the URL when I was pointed to it.

Couldn't be the same bloke, could it? I suppose he'd have gone for Iroko heatsinks.

At least the gold plate will have virtually no effect in either direction.
