Often, older oil-filled capacitors will have the 'nasty' oil in them
containing carcingenic PCBs, which is part of what makes oil-filled caps
hard to find.  I've often pondered on that fact with the big caps one
sees at surplus stores.  I.e.: which are the ones that transform your
home into a mini-superfund site if you cut them open?
