I just replaced the 3 can capacitors on a MAC 1500, and didn't notice until I pulled the 3 that they all appear to have a bulge in them. This bulge I would assume is from leaking capacitors, but they all appear to have the bulge in the same location where the etching is.
My question is this; is this bulge common due to the etching, or is this something I should look out for in future can caps to know it was failing?
The unit was playing sound before I replaced these, so obviously they weren't totally dead.

Mac 1500 Electrolytic Capacitors Replaced
See the minor bulge in all 3 of the Can Capacitors? Not looking good,
