What's wrong with crossposting? There are 4 groups where people might know the answer. Yes, I could post 4 times seperately, but then people wouldn't see each other's replies.

I've checked both Ebay and Alibaba (where you can buy huge bulk quantities), and the prices are no different.

I've never seen the tantalum ones break.

Stop excessive crosposting...

coloured blue tend to go leaky and damage the rest of the circuit.
Nothing is supposed to last any more.
