Cecil makes an important observation. The functional consequences of a leaky capacitor are of paramont importance, more so than color, form factor, or internal construction. As examples, weird AGC behavior, distortion, and low sensitivity have all been traced to deteriorated aged components.... of which caps are just one.

As Nolan Lee once remarked, it all comes down to what do you want in your shack. A functional unit that you can enjoy and use daily, or something you can brag about as looking all *original*. Me, I just want it to work.


Thanks, W. Li
