OK Chuck,

    I will buy a few of them.  Thanks very much.  If they are working ok in 
your power supply that's good enough for me!

    Thanks so much!!!

Tubular axial.


I thought the phrase “ looked like an orange drop cap” would clarify that.  I guess I should have been more definitive.


Just saw the remaining three today as I dug out an assembly used in 75S-3 calibration/alignment routine.

Chuck, did you buy the tubular axial or the disc ceramic .05 1600VDC cap?

Steve

I saw those same caps at Just Radio and I bought four. I have only used one in a 516F-2, but it worked fine.

That’s not much history, but I hope it helps.  It appears to be an orange drop cap.  Not sure who really made it, but happy with the results.
