Ingredients:
2 .001mfd, 1KV mica capacitors
2 .001 mfd, 630V poly capacitors
1 12,000 ohm, 2 watt resistor
1 20,000 ohm, 1/2 watt rotary potentiometer.
1. In a medum-size steel chassis, remove two .001 mfd, 1KV mica capacitors, and replace with two new .001 mfd, 630V capacitors.
2. Set power to "on."
3. When wax starts to drip off the 2-watt resistor, set the power to "off."
4. Voila! In less than two minutes you have roasted a pot!
I might try to repair it, but in the meantime I'm looking for a replacement. It's a 20K, 1/2-watt pot, and this is the most likely replacement I've found. Any other suggestions?
And while I'm here, I was looking for 1KV & up caps on Antique Electronic Supply, but got stymied by this:
Am I wrong, or are they mixing up uF, pF, and nF?
Thanks for your kind attention.
