I never realised this ! I knew they sometimes leak and usually only last 20
to 30 years or so, but I had no idea of the likely mechanism or how 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....
