hot. Displeased, what I ended up doing was replacing it with 4 1uf monolithic caps in parallel. Much tinier, no electrolytes, and totally cool to touch now. Makes me wonder why they put that elec. cap in there to begin with.
For a given capacitance (above 1 uF or so) elec. caps are much cheaper and a few years back used to be much smaller too. -Alex.
