	The ones I bought in the group purchase were only 0.025 ufd, but your
price is what I remember.  I'm still wondering if it is worth trying to
use them after reading all of the horror stories which were published
here.  They've been sitting on their side in the attic since I bought
them and who knows where the bubbles are now?

	One reason I didn't put them into service immediately is the length,
which I found inconveniently large.  The "Maxwell type" capacitors with
leads closer together are much more convenient.
