Ed, I think just giving it a roll or two, and hitting it with a few KV
will get the oil back in the dry spots.

BTW, I was not on the "group" buy, just on my own after I heard about it
some time in '96?

Hi Terry, what do you mean by "casually" connected together? I
understand that they (at least mine) were made of 6 series caps. Oh and
Ed if you read this, make sure that you roll the cap every month (before
using it) or so to prevent "drying" of the dielectric due to an air
bubble.

No need to get rid of those commercial caps, just use them as designed.
And when they go, build a MMC!

	Mine haven't been rolled in at least 5 years.  Anyone have any
ideas as
to what to do before firing them up?
