I was just checking out the leaky capacitors on the model 100
motherboard, and they are all colored black. And ditto for the HX-20.
The ones that are both light and dark blue look to be fine (no leakage.)
So am I just seeing an anomaly, or is this the experience of most people
here?

Black is a common wrap color for electrolytics, wouldn't be surprised if
the majority are black wrapper. Plenty of leaky brown wrappers, too. And
yes, blue :)
Thanks,
Jonathan

I've replaced caps on two M100s and they were indeed black.
