Checking back on previous emails, the capacitors in question aren't
"gumdrops" (god knows where i pulled that name from), but rather
Mullard C280's, these are the multi-colored striped caps, so any info
regarding suitable replacement for these caps, as well as reading the
values of these color codes, would be appreciated.
Just on a side note, apart from 2 of these capasitors which are
obviously busted, there are many others which seems to have "surface
cracks". I'm not sure whether this is just the "paint" coat, or
whether this is a sign that the caps lifespan is coming to an end, is
this common with these Mullard C280's? Would it seem a wise idea to
replace all these caps with any sign of cracking with fresh
replacements of some kind?
Thanks again people
