Common cause of failures on the Taito Space Invaders three board sets is Tants... John :-#)# At 06:21 PM 12/07/2003 -0400, James S. Bright wrote:
Replace them with electrolytic caps. You'll have to increase the capacitance, to get the same noise reduction, since tants have better H.F. response at lower capacitance. My rule of thumb is to double the value. For instance, replace 4.7uf tants with 10uf elects.

Ah! Very good tip. Thanks.
And I've also seen them catch on fire... On more than one occasion!
