This is old, old stuff. The backstory to is is that it's an *American* device, not Chinese, and it was done that way to disguise fitting a more modern capacitor into a vintage amplifier. I can't remember why they went with 2200μF instead of 6800μF - possibly the guy that did it felt that 2200μF was adequate. It was over a decade ago when I first saw it along with the writeup ;-) -- Gordon JC Pearce MM0YEQ <gordon...@gjcp.net> _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
