Its not a waste of a thread. Honestly, we here do not know 100% what is & is not a 'Tanti'.
I'd say both those blue caps are Tanti's. The markings (+) are right, its marked on the board too, the shape is right.
But yah gonna say its liquid in the centre, there are Tantis like that.
Heres some good pics at this site
Buying Tantalum Capacitors
I'm learning, last month I relised the little brown blocks I'd been picking off boards for over a year, are not Tantis', they have silver & platnium in them, but no tanti......
(double ring on the blue cap looks like its to make a seperate container inside to hold the parts of the wet Tantis cap.)
