Something forgotten in my last post, was that the inner workings of the Hayseed cans were revealed to me yesterday. The insulating cardboard sleeve of the 200 uF unit detached from the metal body as I withdrew it from the box. The can has an open top, and inside, I could see the tops of two smaller electrolytic capacitors, sitting in some type of brittle cream colored potting compound.
Since the tag end of the can appeared to have the same construction as the other cans, I assume that all the kits are made in the same manner, essentially a professional stuffing job. Not that there is anything wrong with this, assuming that the parts inside each can have the appropriate electrical parameters.
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
