That's a good shout to be honest...I should really check all the boards and do a count of how many there are and get some replacements ordered.

Showing how long it is since I was last doing this sort of work, I'm struggling to remember what the usual practice for replacing these is. Just like for like I'm assuming as there's nothing fundamentally wrong with tantalum caps...they're just operating a fair way outside their anticipated lifespan at this point in time. Is that correct or is there a modern better suited capacitor technology out there?
