Ron,
Thanks for warning! I was surprised myself about a single backelite out of so many caps.
What probably could avert the disaster is my habit of first finding the part in the assembly dwg and then in the sch and looking to what to replace it with before gutting (exception is made for tubular caps) but still I could make that near fatal mistake.
Thanks again! Even better, no messy job.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
