All of your responses have been very helpful indeed.

Nuvistor, I will test those as you advised (removing them first of course). And I will go to the cricklewood site you have directed me to.

G8HQP Dave, That explains everything. I will only replace dodgy ones.

Herald1360, That explains why I could not find any low value polarised caps. The ones I have taken off to test read OK, but I'm not sure how to tell whether they are leaking.

I'm finding the Vintage site a little difficult to navigate. Did my downloads come through?

Many thanks again for everyone's help, it is much appreciated

Richard
