Most of them are not located near to hot-running

bad.

Could they date to the "stolen partial electrolyte formula" era? My
recollection is that caps made with the defective electrolyte tend to
start going gnaester-upwards after a few thousand hours with power
applied... I don't recall heat being a requirement for the failure to
occur.
