[11/44 PSU]

I've had electrolytics in old radios go bad from age, but never in a
computer (yes, I have had caps in computer PSUs fail, but not shortly
after switch-on after extended storage). I guess that these capacitors
are (a) too new to have failed and (b) improvements in capacitor
design/manufacture has given them a longer life anyway.
I have. The ones in my PDP-12 were leaky enough that they drew too much
current and took out the bridge rectifier. Had to reform them.
