[Boatanchors] RME-69 'lytic replacement

[Tom NØJMY]

All of the new can-caps that we sell are + or - 20%.  I would say the 
most common tolerance we see in the oem caps that they are replacing is 
-20% to +80%.  That's coming out of rigs mostly from the 60's and 70's.

It has been only in the past very few decades that tolerances of +/- 20% or even +/- 10% have become pretty common.  Most electrolytic capacitors these days are at least as good as +/- 20% with +/- 10% being found in more and more items.
