Electrolytics "blow up"

[Bill and Edna]

Hmmm.. Brings back a recent memory.  I replaced two High Voltage Caps in
the HW-16.  They
were about 3/4 inch diameter..rated at 40uFd and 350V.  They Blew up in
about 30 seconds.
How can I tell a High Resistance from a Low Resistance Electrolytic?

I'm still determined to get that Rig on the air!!
