I have two ancient filter caps that I think someone may be interested in 
that is restoring a commercial AM transmitter or the like.  They are 
rated at 3 MFD (actually 2.95 MFD by the nameplate) and 6 KV.  They are 
manufactured by Westinghouse.  The dimensions are 17"H X 14" X 6" and 
they are heavy.

I suspect most are thinking PCB but I don't believe so.  I checked on 
the web and the only PCB laced caps by Westinghouse are listed as a type 
DV.  These caps are a type LD.  I checked the oil years ago and it is 
clear not yellow.

So there you have it.  I want $20 for the pair but I will not ship.  I'm 
located 20 miles west of Philadelphia.  Please no flames or 
condemnations.  If you are not interested, keep it to yourself.

Thanks,

Bill, K3PGB
