MOTM

To quote Paul, " Experience has shown the larger the cap, the more 
likely to fail."

In the '70s at the Experimental TV Center we used a lot of 0.1uf 
tantalum capacitors for supply bypassing on video circuits.  These were 
tiny, radial lead caps.  There could be dozens of them on a board.  
Occasionally one will short, and since they are all in parallel the only 
way to find out which is to cut them one by one until the culprit turns 
up.  The cut, but good, ones usually had to be replaced, too, because 
the leads were left very short.  Fortunately we did not use large value 
tantalums very much.

Getting a working MTM for the price a couple of filter caps is an
awesome deal!!

Do you know where I can find out more about how a CCD delay works (I
had wrongly assumed the MTM used BBD's) ??
