Boutique caps in oil... reliable?


Hi Everyone,

Just kind of openly curious.  On occasion I will read a post here or there that a boutique film cap which uses oil as a dielectric has leaked (i.e. failed). 

Just wondering when it comes to these high end oil impregnated (or maybe even wax!) caps what your experience has been with long term reliability.

 

Thanks!

Erik,

As you mentioned wax, no issues with Jupiter HT.

Running now for 9 years and are close to signal tubes.

No experience with oils.
