BG237 - A lot of mystery out there around what a "DEATH CAPACITOR" is, why they were used and how to replace them. I did my best to explain all of this and remove some of the mystery surrounding. This applies to guitar, stereo, Hi-Fi, Ham Radio, Test Equipment, and other vintage tube electronics and amplifiers.
