Maybe my memory is a bit vague - but tantalums in the 1960's ??????????
Jim
Tantalum capacitors are pretty bulletproof, and do
not need this treatment.
No - we're using computer-assisted equipment from the 60's (74
type logic) where the tanatalum's are going short-circuit or leaky, so
allow for a 20-30 year lifetime.
