Do any of my fellow members have any experience with JB capacitors? I bought an arcade lot a couple of years ago with my Joust game. The sister was selling it on behalf of her late brother's estate. There were hundreds of bagged JB caps. They were bagged into complete monitor cap kits in bulk. Have you ever used them? If so, what is your opinion on fail rate?

Life's too short to gamble on no-name caps.

The fact that they aren't a brand name (and the fact that this person had a huge number of them) are red flags enough.

Toss them and spend $10 on top-shelf caps.
I do have a decent supply of Nichicons, these were just in the bins and before I went through and put them in their respective bins I thought I'd ask here. They're gonna go in the trash.
