The black beauties I pull out of 390A's are clearly leaky (as measured
with a 9V VOM, not some fancy-schmancy hi-volt leakage test set!) but
usually the radio works the same both before and after :-). If you look
where they come from, most are just bypasses on cathodes or filament
lines where even a few mA of leakage causes only the vaguest symptoms.

I can second the message that was posted about saving BBOD's removed from
your radios.  After seeing what was happening on eBay, I tried selling some
and almost fell over at the prices I got.  I clearly stated that they had
been removed from old radio's and could sell be leaking.

As I remember they all went to Japan.
