The electrolite tends to dry out also. I tend to think of them as a battery
(cell), as they have the same basic characteristics.

too....

to potentially avert it. I have some old power amps with hundreds of 1000's
of micro farads of caps in total in them, maybe I should just turn them on
every now and again to help stave of self destruction.... regards Peter
