Cool!

I love vintage parts, When you said older I wasn't thinking that old!

have you tested them for drift?

they look like polyester construction so I doubt drift would be beyond tolerance.

Darn it Ampcabs!

wish I knew you were looking for big caps.

got a 6 pack of these I pulled from a 25HP VFD.

of course you have 20x the filtering.

now if you built a champ with one of mine on the B+ and one of yours on the heaters, I bet you can get 10 mins of play time per charge  :icon_biggrin:

Used to do that with the old condensers when I was putting in new points, Till my brother figured out how to do it back!
