PCBs and AC capacitors: did PCB's screw us out of reliable capacitors?
Hello TOTVers,
Thanks to all for making this an engaging and productive site.
In an earlier post I paid $314 to A Well Known AC Servcie to get (basically) a capacitor changed. The feedback is that the going rate is $130.

In the process it seems that's lots of folks are familiar with the AC's capacitor issue -- "happens all the time".
Then someone (I'll research more thoroughly when "I get a round tuit") -- then a TOTVer said capacitors used to be made with PCBs and were life-time reliable.
Did PCB "over-reaction" screw us out of reliable capacitors, and hence reliable AC?
