John,
As it turned out that company went out of business 5 years later, and I
went down with the ship. During the clean-up phase (sell what you can, toss
in the dumpster the rest, or take home) I got the container of those .47uf
400 volt Black Cat's (only have 4 left). It is interesting that these all
test excellent on my Eico RC bridge for leakage whereas several Orange drops
that I have (.1 uf 600 vdc, used) show several microamps of leakage at rated
voltage. I just bought some new type 715 Orange drops (same value), and I
will test them to see if they too show leakage.
Regards,
Jim

Jim, that story is so ridiculous that it has to be true.
But I won't to know who (in a pinch) has ever rolled there on wax
paper, plastic, Mylar, whatever, capacitor. I'm not talking about a gimmick
wire twist. I'm talking about .001uf or more. I'm talking about laying out
the tin foil and plastic or paper insulator sheets and rolling them up on a
stick, taping it up, crimping some wires to the foils or screwing them down
to standoffs.
Lets hear it folks, tell the truth.

My boss then looked for something to plug the hole, and after a
number of unsucessful tries, tried a .47uf 400v Black cat capacitor, and
with a small hammer, drove it into the pvc pipe end to plug the leak. I was
told to never touch it!
Now my friends, that is an excellent application for the famous Black cat
capacitor! This is a true story.
Regards,
Jim
