[Boatanchors] Reforming Caps?

[David C. Hallam]

I guess I just missed out.  A month or so ago I pitched a box full into 
the trash.  I wouldn't think of using one.  I have had too many 
problems.  I have had several fail but luckily never with a dead short.  
I have had some leak so badly that I wondered why the B+ voltage was too 
low.  They were more of a resistor than a capacitor.
