Hi, Vacuumlanders,
We changed our central AC unit recently and I salvaged a number of motor starter capacitors from the old unit. There was a couple of paper caps in metal cans - very useful, one already deployed as a cap. input reservoir in a B+ P/S, but also four large, non-polarised AC- service electrolytics. I cannot for the life of me find a use for these! They are marked as follows: 1991963 ETW 10572 21-25 MFD 250 VAC 60 CYCLES 6710 They are each in a thick, black plastic case, about 1 1/4 inches dia. and 3 1/2 inches long and have spade terminals. They test good, both as to capacity, the right current at 120 VAC, and have low leakage. I figure they're of no use for tube P/S's as one half would be is wasted, and the ESR (which I cannot measure without a lab experiment... no meter) may be too high. The cap value is too high for most speaker crossovers (being about 865 Hz for -3 dB at 8 ohms) So, any ideas? I hate to just throw them out! BTW, if anyone wants them they can have them for the price of the postage (or for free if Toronto, Canada, pick-up) - email me. Cheers. Roger |
