Hi Ron;

I have and have been well satisfied. I like the axial leads over
ORANGEDROPS with their radial leads. They are much smaller than the
originals . They even send some spaghetti tubing to go over the leads.
They have been very prompt and friendly. Good people to deal with.

The value numbering system is not unique. It keeps changing over the
years. This one has been in place for a number of years. It is a 3-digit
code similar to resistor color coding. The first two digits are the
significant numbers and the 3rd digit is the number of zeros, expressed
in picofarads. e.g. 503 is 50+3 zeros or 50000 pfd. or .05 mfd. To change
from pfd to mfd move the decimal point 6 places to the left.

73, Ed Richards K6UUZ
