Hello All,
I have not done much coiling lately due to the lack of good caps. My current
bank of caps are glass saltwater jobs, cheap and very bad. I would be very
glad if you were able to describe the construction of these glassless caps,
so that I can make some for my underpeforming coil. I would need about
0.025uF
Thanks
Andrew Meyer
