Mallory=Jamicon?

[Maxxarcade]

Just found a 47uf 250v cap at work that has both the Mallory and Jamicon brand printed on it. I thought Mallory was an American cap back in the day? Did they get bought out? The cap is an SK series, 85c cap.

Another funny thing, I also found an NTE branded cap with a bulging top, still new in the drawer. It has the "+" type vent that I've seen on other bad caps... Who makes the caps for NTE?

These are a couple reason's I'm sticking to Chemicon, Panasonic, and Rubycon from now on

Re: Mallory=Jamicon?

Mallory was one of the best brands out there in the mid 20th century.
I last saw their caps (orange) on a 16 bit ISA AST fastram card. I still have it somewhere. Shame on them if they did get bought out.
