Hello Kreso.

Very sad to hear about your rmishap with the maxwell cap. Did the cap heat up
before or did it explode without warning? What exactly happened? Did the case
break open or did it really explode with burning oil and pieces flying
around? Was this the type of cap Alltronics sells ( 37667 )?
I am very interested in any experiences with this cap as it is the only real
HV cap type I own.
