The video shows that it’s not always the case (for non-polarized ones), that’s why I wanted to share it with you.
Thanks! And, yeah, it's not always the case, just usually. I've found unmarked caps to be most frequently found in amps from Japan and made from the 1960s to 1970s. I don't personally have any experience with many of them but I guess amps made in the old Soviet Union also were like that.
The good news is that I'm no longer a poorfag. So, I seldom need to do any work on my own gear!
Still, I appreciate the link. I seem to recall this video popping up in a Hackaday newsletter? I'm not positive and I smoke a lot of pot.
Oh! Something I've been meaning to mention. I saw on PicInfinity that you were the design guy. I'm not terribly fond of the UX, but the UI is nice and works very well for a partially colorblind person. The contrast is excellent. I've been meaning to say thanks for a while now but, like I said, I smoke a lot of pot.
Thanks for the kind words.
Though I'm a keyboard kinda guy, I do appreciate your guitar posts a lot. 😌
As someone who's partially colorblind, it's always nice when things stand out enough for me to see them well. Strangely, I didn't really have any colorblindness until maybe a decade and a half ago. I noticed it because I'd say, "I like the $color of your $item." People would argue with me. This went on for way too long before I started to realize it was me and went in to be tested. My color vision was fine when I was younger - 'cause they tested it as part of the physical to join the military.
Yup, for a few years, I was obstinate and wrong about the color of things. I had some apologies to make!
