FS Wet/Dry Axial NOS Sprague Kemet Tantalum Capacitors

Anyone interested in tantalum capacitors? I have bins full of these I got from a local estate that I will never use. I will get some pics up as soon as I can. Most of them are NOS and Milspec.

I also have a ton of these. Some of them with a failure rate level of 0.001%.
They were incredibly expensive, when they was bought from the military or space agencies. I have special WET slugs that are made exclusively for the ESA.

For which applications can I use them? I always wanted to open a thread and ask what to do with these capacitors.

@Gungnir I hope it is OK that I posted this in your thread.

It's all good. I was thinking cathode bypass caps?

That obviates any necessity of using a wet slug tantalum. Their desirability arises from extremely low leakage -- as Jim Williams (RIP) pointed out, the extremely low leakage means that you wont swamp the front end of a ultra-low noise amplifier.

Measurement.
 
How about 270uf 6v...I have 100s of these, also have some sprague 220uf 10v and a lot of 47uf 35v. I just need to dig them out of the garage. I have sold some on ebay a year ago, but that takes way too long. I would really like to get rid of larger quantities. I am also open to trades.
