Good Morning,

ayayay... my hands already hurt. Icon_eek

To my experience these wet electrolytics go open, not short. At least I have never seen a shorted one (except for tantalums, of course). Plus I'm always monitoring temperatures when testing gear. I can use an IR cam here, a formidable troubleshooting tool in general...

These guys are close to my place (biking distance), I'll give it a try once it stopped raining.

cheers
Martin
