Default Re: Crumbly RS capacitors.

William Dubilier of the Dubilier Condenser Company of New York. For his contribution to war work, after the first world war he was offered an honorary knighthood by the UK which he declined to accept.
The british arm of dubilier no longer exists, the present incarnation makes filters and parts for aerospace and the military. The brand name Dubilier is now owned by Abacus. If you want genuine dubilier electrolytics it's CDE or nobody!
Wikipedia has a little on the man in question, he died in 1969 in Palm Beach.
