[R-390] O.T. Miniature Electrolytic

[rbethman]

If you mean bullet shaped, as it "resembles" the notorious audio module 
leaking capacitor, I wouldn't use it.

Those are very old style capacitors that have an electrolyte that either 
turns acid like, or already has an acid component to it.  That is why 
they are replaced.

Those are the only ones I've seen that have that shape.  Then again, I 
may have missed a design type.
