[ARC5] Tape

[Geoff]

Are these new modern radial caps or old tech axial?

Ive been restuffing cans for years and it gets easier as caps shrink in 
size. I recently did a 20/20/20 450V with 22/33/33 and room to spare using 
105 *C Nichicon radials.

Since I have a large roll of fairly heavy wall Teflon tubing rescued from 
the trash at work 15 years or so ago it has performed admirably in all tasks
