Mike;
The photoflash caps I was using were mostly Rubicon brand, and I typically reform them before using on a resistance capacitance bridge. I'm guessing that the modern electrolytes, especially in photoflash caps, must work differently then the types they were using in sets in the 1949s and 50s, maybe it doesn't put as much of a load across the rectifier cathode for as long as an Aerovox one would have back in the day?
