I suppose cos they can get them el chepo. I also have found toward the
end of the 90s, those little tantalum caps that look like blobs of resin
coloured blue tend to go leaky and damage the rest of the circuit.

Don’t see much of that anymore.

Nothing is supposed to last any more.

Stainless steel cutlery does. Just noticed that some of our
irrigation control weirs/gates are now entirely stainless
steel. Bet they werent cheap but they certainly will last.

Motherboards used them over a decade ago, so why do I still find leaking
electrolytics in TVs?
