[DSP-10] C24 "Gimmick" Question DSP-10

[Rich Miller]

Hello Mike:

Thanks for the reply. I now understand what was being referred to in the instructions.  The graphic you provided clears up any ambiguity I had!

Here are some additional notes.

C24  0.04 pF “gimmick” capacitor.  Constructed from a 0.2-inch length of #24 tinned wire spaced 0.05-inch above the adjacent PC-board pad.

================

#24 WIRE .02010"

1/8 watt resistor leads are typically .02 inch, and usually tinned.

useful to guesstimate the .05 inch spacing ...

#16 WIRE .05082"

13 A4 PAPER SHEETS .05"

20 QST PAGES (PAGES 10 - 30) .05"

METAL TAB OF A TO220 PART AS IN 7805 7808, USED IN DSP-10

Some large wattage axial resistors, such as 2 watt and 5 watt have tinned leads that are .05 inch diameter. Also a 1N5406 diode I happen to have laying on the bench.
