   " The ones that are bad were stressed more, the others in the unit of the same   
   make and age may not have been and not as much of the electrolyte has been   
   boiled out. In circuits of the latter type, ESR is not that critical. Nut with   
   the high pass filter    
   it makes the value less important. "
