A boatload of parts just arrived from Mouser!
Now the fun begins, refurbishing my two R-390As,
and misc. other electronics and test equipment.
I though I'd start with the RCA VoltOhmyst.
I grabbed a new 10mF electrolytic, and, and....
which end is positive? There is a stripe with minus
signs running the entire length of the cap. So I guess
this means that the can is negative? That's usually the
case, but the markings on this Xicon don't seem clear to me.
I was expecting +++ or --- at one end. This does have axial
leads, after all.
Soooo, is the can the negative end?
thanks, Dave - K3DX
