Re: Waxy Capacitors - what did they look like when new?
Hi Andy - good point, I'll make sure to look at that. The HT is only 120V for this system so relatively low.
I think I have solved my potentiometer dilemma. If I can fit them inside the body, a couple of resistors from the wiper to each end will enable me to reduce the resistance at the cost of a slightly S-shaped volts/rotation curve. This would not present a problem in this application as the pots are just presets with no scale to fit against. Cheers James |

Re: Waxy Capacitors - what did they look like when new?
Hi All
First new 'waxy' off the production line - I think it looks quite good! It looks a little darker in real life, added a second pic which is more like it the colours are more saturated. The C10 label was on the original. The leads are only solder at the moment as I don't actually have a cap to go in it! James Last edited by jamesinnewcastl; 27th Feb 2019 at 12:05 am. |
