[PSES] Capacitor Friday question

[Doug Powell]

This is somewhat off topic but still I feel it can be relevant to equipment reliability. My daughter found this article on Facebook and successfully got her sewing machine running again, after a fairly long period of storage. The link  has an interesting theory about old electrolytic capacitors restoring themselves and I'm not sure I buy it. I've never heard of this before sort of thing before. What do you think?  https://m.facebook.com/DrDavesSewingMachines/posts/1273259472698687 Have a great weekend. ~Doug -- Douglas E Powell doug...@gmail.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/dougp01 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
