Default Re: Electrolytic capacitor fails after 1 hour in service!

CPO Pertwee (played by John Pertwee, btw), as us 'olduns' will remember, was a character in 'The Navy Lark', a radio comedy set on and around 'HMS Troutbridge'. He was in Charge of the stores in the series, and various items would 'dissapear' and be sold by said CPO Pertwee on the black market. If challenged he would deny all knowledge of such deals.
