[R-390] OT: Wet or Solid Tantalum?

[Bill Hawkins]

The straight cylinder types of the 60s and 70s were definitely solid
axial tantalum caps. I've used many of them on an industrial budget.

The green eggs are recent.

Barrie,

The solid (or dry), tantalums that are out there are usually sort
of egg shaped, green or blue in color, ans the leads come out one
end.  They are NOT axial.
