In one of the scenes I saw an old RCA VTVM. This brought back very fond memories. A comment was made that the caps were tested to TWICE the rated voltage. Isn't that the purpose of a rating, to identify the maximum voltage and ensure that the working voltages are lower? What became of the old "massive" RCA plant in Camden N.J.? As an antique car collector, I loved seeing the old cars in the parking lot and in use by employees.
Thanks for the post.

Love the bow ties. My pop worked at a GE plant in those days that made magnetron assemblies. They were having high failure rates and he was assigned to investigate the problem. Turned out that one of the assembly ladies was having a tough time putting one of the capacitors on the boards because the leads were too short, so she yanked them out a bit to make it easier to solder it in.
