Default Re: Capacitor problems

The worst ones I have come across in American TV's are the "Bumble Bee" capacitors which are a paper type sealed in a black plastic case with stripes of colour hence the naming. These ones appear to absorb more water over the years than most. How long paper caps last, if they are not perfectly sealed, might have a lot to do with the paper quality and how it was prepared prior to using it.
