Re: 'THAT' Capacitor. What is it ?
I first saw the term "that capacitor" in Radiophile magazine many years ago.
I agree that it is confusing to those who don't know, but then I suspect there are a lot of shorthand terms in various hobbies and interests that are equally as unclear. I don't think anyone is being deliberately vague, it's just typical short-hand used when people who understand the subject are chatting.
I will make this thread "sticky" (so it stays in the top part of the list) as the term is likely to continue being used and continue confusing people new to vintage radio repair.
