AES sells NOS electrolytics and claim 'recently reformed' Would these

They will be better than failed capacitors. Beyond that, I would be
extremely suspicious of them.

My boss gave me a bunch of 68uf/450v caps that I intend to hollow out
the big shiny cans and stick my free caps in. It takes a little bit of
time and epoxy, but worth it.


Free caps, as in free beer or free speech?
