Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

You are so right!

Never really paid attention to specific values before, but I've been refurbishing a bunch of 70s and 80s gear lately and those are the values that are shot.

I mean ESRs 10-100X what would be reasonable, to the point of so high I can't measure, and little to no signal getting through (which of course makes them easy to find).

Don't forget 10 and 22μF, and even up to 100 or 220 which are sometimes used for discrete stage inter-coupling. But yeah, I get the point, it's the smaller ones that really seem to get unusably bad.
