Well, I don't know about 50 years, but I know some of the restorations (where
people said they checked that their electrolytics were still withina spec)
were a while back, so _iff_ they have records of what they measured, it would
be interesting to see if there's any drift from then, to now. But I have no
idea what numbers they have, they'd have to speak to that.

Again, I have no idea what they measured, so they'd have to respond on that.
