PIO cap?

[for_p1]

I also have a ton of those NOS wet slug tantalum caps, it sure would be nice to find a good use them!

There is a good value in wet tantalum caps - over 50% of their weight is PURE SILVER.

Ok, I was exaggerating a bit, I might have several hundred of them. Based on their packaging, they were probably premium pieces at the time. Quite a few of the ones I got were still in there original containers, they came individually packaged in a long plastic tubes.

You can refer to eBay prices to see how much value they are. New military/space rated ones go for $50-150 each.

And as I said, check how much silver contains in each - you can sell them to precious metals recycler.

Good to know about the silver in case I end up scrapping something that has them.

I don't know about you guys, but tantalum caps make me nervous.
