Re: [Phys-l] dielectric safety

I doubt any caps above (>) 1 nF are ina CD player and I don't think CD players existed before '79; did they? The cap ina flashed camera is a worry.

bc disassembled a blu ray (type) reader for the blu LASER diode and doesn't remember any large caps.

bottom line - the stuff in electrolytic caps needs to be respected.
