Smile Last batch of caps

I've finished the last batch of caps!


First up, I made a replica tube for the missing 0.3 MFD 6 kv cap.


The old replacement 0.005 cap is in the foreground. I wonder how well that actually worked ?


I switched over to hot glue for plugging up the ends. Much easier than reusing the old wax. Only downside is that it hardens to milky white.


A little paint took care of that.


I'm not sure how good an insulator hot glue is so I made a dam to keep it out of the body of the tubes. A hole punch is the exact inner diameter.



Time to put them all back in



The aftermath
