Hy,

I guess you're meaning the capacitor blew up and landed on the ceiling.

I remember that putrid smell of electrolytics when they exploded, really a stinky smell.

Hi DR -

I wasn't "involved" with the museum, but had the good fortune to pay a visit to it during a brief stopover at the Orkney Islands.  It's a dense but  very inviting and  interesting place, and as noted in the article, is an amazing testament to what a few people can accomplish.  Their exhibits included many radios (and batteries. etc.) which I was totally unfamiliar with, including some of the "transitional" small portable tube AM/FM radios of the late 50's and very early 60's  One exhibit which "resonated" with me was a piece of a capacitor retrieved from the ceiling, during a rig refurbishment which apparently was not fully optimized.  Not noted in the article is that they offer to all visitors  a sheet with the alphabet and morse code equivalents.

Great review OM on what seems to be a very interesting book!

As it happens, I also had a piece in that issue (Page 54):  "Museum Quality" - a Visit to the Orkney Wireless Museum GB2OWM
