Nolan seemed to like the swedish twins.  An excerpt from another of
his classics.

Change ALL of the paper caps, period. It's cheap insurance. Undoubtedly
someone will tell you otherwise. I've listened to people bitch and
moan about the amount of effort it takes sine I first brought up the
idea back in late 1998 but it's well worth doing.

"Ooh, it's too hard and I might burn my little fingers or break a nail."
"I'll miss Star Trek tonight..."
"Whine whine, I've got a hot date with a pair of Swedish nympho twins".
"My dog chewed the cord off of the soldering iron."
"The voices in my head said not to."
"Those caps have worked fine for the last 45 years, why?"
"If it ain't broke, don't mess with it."

Yeah, right. Who needs Gatling guns, we can travel faster without
them....

I've listened to dozens of reasons why there is no need to change
them and it's a wasted effort, etc. I still think that for the person
that actually uses their radio and doesn't have it as a trophy sitting
on a table somewhere where they stare at it while they drink some
sissy drink like lite beer or some twisted version of coffee that
doesn't even contain chickory, and intend to keep the radios for
the duration, should put forth the effort and change the caps.
