Default Re: Another 19 set rebuild

The Sprague caps with a dull-grey outer and red printed text are some of the better WWII-era parts.

"Trust, but Verify", as the late Ronald Reagan was famed for saying.

TCC Metalpack/Metalmites - with aluminium outer-cases and rubber bungs in the ends - don't need to be trusted or verified - they need to be replaced! same goes for Dubilier "Type 4703C" metal-cased-with-rubber-end-bungs capacitors.
