[Jukebox-list] .1mfd condenser (Ker-boom)

[Steve Wahl]

Ron,

I keep forgetting that it was a different era.  I can't imagine any
company today being that open with this sort of information with
people outside the company, except for government contracts, medical
devices, and maybe automobile manufacturers.

Also, I forget that these weren't "consumer" products, which might
make a difference, too.  And heck, I remember radios and such came
with schematics into the 70's and 80's -- even my Amiga 2000 computer
had schematics in the manual.  You don't see that today, at all.

Anyway, I take back what I said.  I can now imagine them sending out
the info, even if it was just a cost reduction.

Thanks,

--> Steve

It further states that "---elimination of the condenser does not affect the contact arcing one way or another", (on) "--properly adjusted (reversing switch) contacts---".

Fools ignore complexity.  Pragmatists suffer it.
Some can avoid it.  Geniuses remove it.
