old orange drops
« on: January 03, 2014, 08:21:46 am »
I have some old orange caps (about 35 yrs old)  left over from a high school build. Are these any good to use in a new build.
Thanks,
Ernie

Depending on which type of Orange Drop they are, they may be something that is no longer available like 225P's or something. Anyway, they are a plastic film cap and film caps will pretty much outlast you. use 'em!
