[Boatanchors] New plug-in electrolytics

[Tom NØJMY - AAR7FV]

In the recent thread about re-forming caps, I noticed the "octal"-base 
electrolytics caps were mentioned.  I have a prototype mock-up of such a 
unit that you can see here: www.hayseedhamfest.com/plugcap.jpg .

The one in the picture has 8 pins - If we go into production we would make 
them with 4 as well.  Also, it would be 1.5" in diameter...would that create 
a problem?

At this point we're feeling the water -  trying to decide if we should go 
ahead with production.  Most likely it would run a few bucks higher than our 
regular twist-tab multi-section caps.  I'm guessing around $30 each, 
depending on the specs.

If we bring it to market, it would probably start shippiing in about a month 
or so.

So...do you guys think there's any interest out there?
