Good stuff!!

If i jave a non working or semi working board with tantalums.. they are pretty much my first port of call.
 Tantalums are not as reliable as your electrolytic... id be keeping the electro in place and leaving tanty out

I agree.. leave the electro in circuit. Tantalum caps, as Gavin said are unreliable things, i have replaced hundreds of them over the years in all kinds of electronic equipment.. usually they short out!
