Re: Unknown Capacitor Brands

I bought some Samhwa 450V 47uF caps in 2000 for the HT supply on a valve amplifier I made. I had no idea about good caps/bad caps then. I was thinking they were probably alright, as they'd done 6-7 years without problem, but I just checked them now, and hello, a couple of them are bulging, so they'll all need replacing.

Interesting site. Seems like everything I open is full of bad caps! My router is Teapo, and it's been playing silly buggers, so I'll do those. My too-expensive short wave radio has also started playing up, and it's full...
