Capacitor question:

[krankguitarist]

So.............I just bought some sprauge 25uF 25V electrolytic caps, as I'm replacing the electrolytics in my Fender Showman.

So, I got em, and as I'm working with one of them, the lead falls out of the positive end.

I can shove the little lead back into the cap, but it ain't exactly stable.

I'm assuming this means "DONT FREAKING USE THAT CAP!!!!" and just ask for a replacement from hoffman amps (where I bought em), right?

I'd also go 50v on any ones you buy in the future. Give yourself a bit more margin.
