Default Re: Beware!

I've also seen that particular brand of cap fail with lots of brown goo and a nasty stink. The polypropylene type in the blue case from BC Components (philips) or the red Wima ones seem less prone to this behaviour.

Mmm..my TV12 has two of these, thankfully well under-run, one in each timebase oscillator.
