I thought everybody knew about them. My tech calls them "firecracker caps." Several exploded in my Revox A-77 before I got them all replaced. That was before the thing caught on fire.

On the other hand, my still pristine-looking A77 Mk IV has had no such issues.
About 10 years ago (mid 2000s), I sent it up to Nashville for a couple of minor physical repairs (brake bands, slightly bent reel spindle), and had a head alignment and electronics check-up, and it's all at or better than factory spec. There was no discussion about "firecracker caps".
Well, good luck and keep an eye (and ear) on it. You'll know when (and if) it happens.
Or not..
