[R-390] Orange Drop vs ceramic disc

[Cecil Acuff]

The acid in the orange juice will damage the substrate causing the harmonic 
distortion at audio frequencies to be much greater so no it would not be the 
equilivant of an Orange Drop.

But...if you dip them first in the juice from the Kielbasa used for the 
ballast tube replacement this will be prevented....also the oils from the 
Kielbasa will actually smooth out the harmonics and then it will function 
more like an Orange Drop...

YMMV

Couldn't help myself....:-)
