RE: K40 capacitors leaking DC.....

Wheezer, hi. Yes. A K-40y (seeing less than 150 volts DC) became a leaker after fewer than 20 hours of service. I feel sorry for those who have bunches of these things in their amplifiers. I consider them ticking time bombs just waiting to dead short. Russian Roulette anyone?
