[sdiy] When vintage stuff comes as an ideal....

[Steve Lenham]

I recapped a TR909 the other day at the request of a client and I 
confess that my hand, full of the old electrolytics, hovered over the 
bin as I thought "I bet some idiot on eBay would pay stupid money for 
these knackered, 30-year-old cheapo generic capacitors because they 
reckon that only the old ones have THAT sound".

I put them in the bin :-)
