An Old Radio Shopearly rarenew old stockcomponents:

Quite a rare find in a box on the back shelf in a storage area of a closed repair shop from back in the 1950\'s.

Offered here is a pair of NOS 1940\'s vintage TOBE .04 uF 400 V capacitors.

Perfect alternative or substitute for a .047 or .05 capacitor.

These show measured capacitance on an LCR meter around .045 uF, but tests with current leakage on my Sprague Tel-Ohmike analyzer at 400 volts.

These capacitors are suitable for tone and line level applications, however like all bumblebee, paper, and wax capacitors will pass current in high voltage applications so may cause distortion in a coupling application.

Add that unique tone to your Fender, Gibson, electric guitar, tube amp or speaker crossover.
