Panasonic HV electrolytic capacitors from Digikey. The boxes they
came in say Panasonic but the capacitors therein state only the
ratings and "6072C6(M)", but there's no named mfg. What's up with
that?


Probably since what happened after the great electrolyte espionage
scandal, they don't want any service shops pointing fingers at them
over failed caps. The only problem is, service shops buy from places
like Digi-Key. Matsushita though wasn't supposed to be affected by
this when it happened. It's either this or maybe they're sub-
contracting these out through another company, and if so I'd watch
the quality. It might pay to do some snooping around about it.
