I heard of lytics marked wrong. The shop that got them said they all blew up. Turs out when they paid a bit more attention the negative lead was longer than the positive lead.

I remember a very long time ago in a small Sony TV the rectifiers were marked backwards, and so was the board ! That was a fun one.

I once found a stuffing error I'd made many years before. A 16v lytic was in backwards on a 21v rail - had never caused any problem though.
