New Capacitors Failing while still in the parts drawer........
Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2022 7:29 pm
This is strange issue.
I'm working on a old RCA 14" flat screen CRT set.
In the vertical section, I find a few Capacitors that have failed.
So, I go to my Parts Drawers to get new ones to replace them.
Here I find several electrolytic radial caps that are leaking a yellow oil out the bottom where the leads are.
These capacitors don't have any sort manufacturer marking I recognize: NRWA made in Japan.
I purchased these a just few years ago, and I have much older {New Old Stock} Caps, that are just fine.
I know they are not designed to last forever, but this is taking planned obsolescence to another level.
