No but I could borrow one.

Basic rule, if it's not a Japanese branded cap then it's probably rubbish. There are some exceptions though, like Cornell Dublier.

A few Asian brands like Taicon and Samxon don't seem terrible, but the rest aren't worth it, at least not in high-stress applications anyway.

Don't go near CapXon with a 40-foot pole.

I've only seen Bellcon caps in electronics from the 1980s. Nichicon SE is also a really old series.

Yeah, I got them from an old sound system.

I would advise you check them in spite of their age.

I checked them and the nichicon and anodia caps are fine but the bellcons are going in the bin.

Some old capacitors like that can be OK if you re-form them.

I would say chuck out the anoidas because they are ticking time bombs.

Anodia caps are very useful...you can have fun with them by popping them I guess that's they only thing they are useful for..
