<TITLE>NOS vs NEW caps</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Group,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I give up!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I was simply relating what I personally heard while watching the RICK MISH/HI-RES video on the SP-600, where RICK quite specifically says that "NOS caps should be considered BAD. PERIOD." HE SAID IT, I didnt' make it up. He said it.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Now, I'm NEW at this, and several in this group said that NOS usually (95% was the figure used by one individual) can be reformed and are just fine. OK. so, I got wrong information. And, i'd heard about people gutting out old aluminum cans and putting new guts in them, or covering up the REAL caps with the old can, etc. I also heard that some companies will REBUILD THEM for you, for a fee. I just dont' have any of those addresses handy.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But, it seems to me that IF POSSIBLE, anything built in THIS DECADE (likely a BIG subject for a BIG DEBATE) would likely be considered NEW NEW, and BESIDES, if you can't believe RICK MISH, who gets paid BIG BIG BUCKS for his rebuilds on R-390x, etcs, then, who can you believe?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So, it is agreed then, that NOS will work, [] IF you are willing to put time into reforming them, and/or [] IF you have no other source to find NEW ONES that are correct.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>OK? :)</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>p.s. I imagine for legal reasons Rick did NOT recommend a source for NEW NEW STOCK caps he was using. BUT, I just found NEW NEW STOCK caps at Antique Electronic supply for multi-sectioned caps in MANY FLAVORS! Now, they may not have EVERY ONE, but they have quite a few! And, I'll be sure to send all you guys any NOS stock caps I pick up at any hamfest! But, I'll have to have a lottery for the winner, as there are a bunch of you who want 'em! :)</FONT></P>
