    Quoted from Roamin:

    They are not as bad but could fail just like any other component.

    When Tant caps go, though, they go up in a ball of fire. UNLIKE electrolytic caps do. They have started fires in the past. So yes, if I ever got a game with this board in it with caps that have NOT been replaced, I would, first thing.
