Ex workshop spare parts and small manufacturing stock
ALL devices have been sourced through reputable local distributors such as RS Electronics, Farnell, WES and Rockby (Victoria) NOT direct import Chinese (often dodgy spec) devices
HISTORY:
Sustainability is the name of the game! Anything (that has been tested and still functioning properly) should be repurposed creating saving in wasted Ee and reducing the poisoning our environment when items are buried in the earth at the local tip needlessly.
Never heard of Ee? It is a concept that creates a measurement of ALL things (not just electronics) that humans have made and the energy used in obtaining the raw material, processing the materials right through to a finished product and even should include the shipping of the item to the distributors/retailers.

This electrolytic capacitor is BRAND NEW, old stock and I am clearing out the workshop "spare parts", substantial discounts apply for quantity purchases.
It is important to read my information page about both new AND old stock electrolytic capacitors ... please go HERE
Nichicon Al electrolytics are intended for general and industrial use.
While most of our audio electronics was low voltage (below 100V) use, we also developed some special high voltage regulated supplies for valve preamplifiers and these higher working voltage caps were used for filtering.
Like so many "I know everything forums" online, I have read some absolute "dribble" regarding electronic component manufacturers from those who appear to have no engineering or technical background at all (a bit like the Twitter of the electronic discussion groups)
ALL of the electro's I am clearing out of our workshops have served us well over the years, it is NOT just the manufacturer that is important - storage conditions, circuit design and so many other criteria are also very important for the reliability of any electronic component. Take a high quality capacitor such as an Siemens, EPCOS, Spraque and put them in a badly designed circuit and they will go "poof" just like any other capacitor.
