Hi, Roy -

I meant they'll leak oil--or whatever they're potted with--sometimes from just
being where it is really hot, as, e.g., the inside of a fuselage that is
baking in the sun.

I've seen the newer caps used to repair older command receivers.  They're
compatible.  They've been around since the early 1950s.  A.R.C.'s Type 12
radio equipment was used in large quantity early on in the Korean War.

BTW, are you still unwilling to part with the DM-28 with a bad armature?
