Leaky Presence Cap?
During restoration of a Fender 5F6A Bassman I found the original Astron .1uf presence capacitor to leak 15uA DC @300V. Since the capacitor is part of an RC filter shunt to ground, I wouldn't expect there to be any ill effect from some DC leakage here. Thus, I am inclined to leave the original cap in...
