i have colected all kinds of electroletic capacitors, most are less than 10 yrs old. i have some that i pulled from a old junk reel to reel tape player, made by nipon cimi con. i'm afraid thay might blow up due to there age.
i have all difrint brands of caps. a few other nipons cimicons, rubycon, nipicon, elena. are any of these brands any good? are there any brands i should avoid.
i had one small 100 uf cap pop on a radio shack kit i had. it stunk, and left a gob of stuff on the board where the cap was, and the can flew acros the room.
I don't want to have the same thing happen with a big cap so i would like to know if age and brand can be somthing tho avoid to prevent this.
i have seen things online using boost caps welding and melting stuff. but won't this type stuff make a cap blow. also is it true that pollarity can cause electrlitics to pop.
