Re: Electrolytic capacitor fails after 1 hour in service!
Some years back I bought a hi end hi-fi and it immediately blew the tweeters when turned on. Replacements went the same way. The woofers stayed fine.
After much head scratching I traced the trouble to the Dolby decode chip. It was putting out an almighty 10kHz (or so) tone.
I'd be tempted to put a 'scope on the cap' to make sure there is nothing there that shouldn't be.
