In fact he hadn't.
I happened to see his latest video on the CR88 receiver last night - I'd only seen the previous one where he'd replaced those bathtub types when I made the above post.
I seem to think that those flat type of capacitors with the 'domino' type markings aren't necessarily mica types like you might think they are, but are actually paper and foil like the traditional ones that we all know and love - he certainly thought they were the more reliable mica types. He should cut one open (like he's said he's going to do with a bathtub at some stage, although I think most of us have seen these opened up before) and see what's inside. In fact, I've got a feeling that I may have got some of those 'domino' marked capacitors in a jar somewhere, so if I find one (or some) I'll test one and if it shows as being leaky, I'll cut it open and have a look at the innards, just out of interest.
