[Boatanchors] BBODs and others

[Alex Whitaker]

I've gathered that a "BBOD" is one of the old plastic cased paper caps.
Does "BBOD" stand for "Bumble Bee of Death?"....referring to the Sprague
Bumble Bee trade name?  That would be an appropriate name for
those......they suck, like all old paper caps that I've ever ran across.
I even had some paper caps that were sealed in ceramic tubes with some
sort of epoxy looking stuff...they were from the 1960s...and they were
bad too.  

Thanks,

Alex
