[ARC5] BC-348 - Many Thanks to All

[Scott Robinson]

Folks,

Do be aware that when you encounter bathtub package capacitors, you need 
to measre leakage not only betweem terminals but from each terminal to 
the case.

Happy listening in 2020,

That finding is similar to my own experience with electrolytic capacitors where the ones I’ve encounter are either bad or going bad.  My Collins 30L1 had ruptured vents on all the high voltage electrolytic for example.
