Vintage cap voltage rating question

[J M Fahey]

You know what the amp didn't actually smell bad. The amp had that 60's Fender tube amp smell to it, even though it is a solid state amp. I think they could package that scent and a bunch of vintage amp loving techs would buy it off the shelves.

I know that smell very well, and here it means "US made amp" whenever you go to a rehearsal room.

After some time, I found it´s some kind of evil chemical added to animal/hide glue used by Fender (and many others) in their Potdevin gluing machines to Tolex amps.

Otherwise such organic stuff rots or grows mold easily.

The product is actually a milder version of Morgue approved Formaline or embalming fluid.

There´s a similar smell coming from old Russian Cameras, which had thin leather covered parts using a similar glue.
