Barker Microfarad (BMI) Electrolytics

Has anyone had any experience with them? Made by former Sprague employees at a former Sprague plant in Virginia. I currently use F&T where possible but I'd try them if not priced too much higher.

Well they don't seem to make many high voltage Caps, the highest voltage rating I saw was 450V, and that only a few of the general purpose axial ones. ALthough their non polarized caps would be useful for cathode bypass capacitors, and the Mil spec caps seem to be very high quality.

They've been used by Matchless and Divided By 13 Amps. I think Holland amps used them too. I could never find a retail source to get any to try out.
