[R-390] Orange drops

[Helmut Usbeck]

Over the past several years I've run into orange drops with several
types of markings, not in just radio equipment.  Being curious I checked
sbelectronics.com, one will see that there are quite a few differant
types of orange drops available now.  Plenty of spec sheets to
download.  No more band.  The right hand lead is still the outside
foil.  It goes to ground to help  prevent noise and hum pickup.  Yes,
the outside foil postioning can be just as critical for audio as other
circuits, don't understand why all of a sudden it's not.

For general use around the shack on different projects, I been using a
polypropylene cap with an IC logo and is yellow in color (Lemon
drops?).  They have worked quite well for me.  Available from the usual
places.
