So I've seen a few of these orange Elna capacitors and never seen one crap out or test poorly. Infact they typically beat the pants of the new Elna and nichicons I tend to use. They have an epoxy seal so perhaps that contributes to such high performance at their current age. Normaly when doing a restoration I shotgun the electrolytic capacitors for long term service sake. However these show no sign of weakness and test better than the parts I have on hand. Literally every thing I can measure they are better (These two I have today anyway 16 volt, 47uF) than any cap I have of the same capacitace. Any thoughts? I know its not a big deal but don't like going backwards.
