What is wrong with those yellow Chinese caps? I use them almost exclusively and have had no problems. Sure I've heard of one or two testing bad prior to install that other collectors have found, but come on!....Out of the thousands bought and installed what is one or two bad ones?...0.01%!....Most of the parts these are replacing had higher escaped factory dud rates back in the 30's-60's than these yellow ones have and a MUCH higher short term mortality rate than modern caps!

Aside from lytics, even cheap film caps of today are Worlds better than old school paper and paper-film types of the past and have a MUCH higher expected lifespan.

We should count our blessings that we can EVEN GET the right values for our equipment anymore!
