Two more components fitted today. Both are now in the correct original pre-war positions.
The 50 microfarad line scan coil coupling capacitor is useless. This is a component that was fitted in 1947. I think on this occasion I'll eschew the desire to maintain the original appearance and use a modern capacitor fitted on a tag strip.
Compare the size of the 1947 component with a Philips axial lead capacitor and the Far East made capacitor that was fitted in the T23.
Reckon the Philips capacitor is the best choice of component for both timebase units.
