[R-390] What To Do With Your Old Capacitors -- Only Slightly OT

[Bruce Hagen]

Wondering about Mil Spec on Black Beauties. During that era I was involved
with a rather large radio/tv service companies and we replaced a lot of
them. Looked the same, failed the same, (are the same. Mil spec or not?).
The audiophiles would probably fault them because the colored bands around
them choke out the audio. Glad my 390 has VQ's.

That is rediculous!  I am sure that the audio community knows that the
military only needs communications grade audio so obviously a mil-spec
capacitor would be designed with C message weighting built in.

I better stop reading my email for a few days.
