Vintage Coupling Caps

[ArcticWhite]

Pulled from Hammond Organ.

Most of them are 150V. Rather low for use in our typical guitar amps.

Tuning caps, not coupling. Lots of custom values in the. Could be fun for tone cap experiments.

I've kept a bunch of those style caps from S-6 chord organs. My understanding is that those white and brown ones last forever and my cheap esr meter confirms that. I'm kind of nutty, but I strip those boards down and save the tag strips, wire and tube sockets. I reuse the wood for cabinets and the sheet metal for chassis.

Cool shot for my new wallpaper.

I had/have some organ pulls like that. Man those organs have hundreds in them! Mostly I look for vintage yellow Astron's or blue Mallory's. I have found a couple Bumblebee caps too.
Generally though, I dont use used caps.

I dug into it and found a bunch of 0.01 uF 400v. Unfortunately, these mostly have shorter leads.

Cool. Short leads‐ that is what wire akd shrink tubing is for...
