Back then, I used a lot of orange drops as replacements and
I never had problems with them. I will say that I did not
always like the fact that their wires come out of the bottom,
since for non-circuit board applications, they were a little
clumsy to fit into some places, versus the tubular caps with
wires on the ends.

They are good parts. A bit over priced however. And yes, radial
leads instead of axial. Can be an issue when you're replacing
axial lead parts.
