<< Hey all, 
 
 I was hoping that someone could answer a question that 
 I have about the ebay capacitor # 167117255. It is labeled 
 as a "General Electric Pyranol" capacitor and I've heard 
 that these type of capacitors are impregnated with PCBs. 
 It is probably not a pulse rated unit either but my main 
 question is is this cap likely to contain PCBs?

David,

Yes, Pyranol was GE's brand name for it's PCB insulating oil. The eBay number 
you give is now listed as an invalid item. The auction may have been pulled 
by eBay because of the 'hazardous material' this cap contains. Steer clear of 
this one or anything labeled "Pyranol".
