[sdiy] old capacitor ID

[Scott]

Thanks guys.  

Ceramic disk caps aren't prone to failure either, are they?  I know they aren't in the age stuff I usually work with, but I'm not sure about something that is over 50 years old.

There's something wrong w/ the amp.  I've got new tubes on the way, and am getting ready to order the replacement electrolytics.
A good cleaning got rid of most of the hum, but it occasionally lets out a pop and looses some volume.  Then another pop and it's back.

I second keeping those blues in there. The signal path of blackface Fenders went through those.
