As I work through these two 41-250 and 41-255 I find that the length of the capacitor leads isn’t enough to do direct connection of the caps.
I have to put on a length of wire to one end of the candleohm resistor and run it to the common negative of the 8 and 16 MFD caps. This works but I’m not happy with one end just hanging in space. I’ve wrapped this well and put plastic tubing on the leads so it’s electrically fine - the radio functions well.
Can you get caps with extra long leads or is there a better solution? I suppose I can custom order a cap with longer leads.
