Really is buyer beware out there When you think about it I wonder how many folks actually put a new cap on a meter before installing it, probably not too many. That's a huge difference in values, it wouldn't work as designed and too high a voltage would fry it and the outer can wouldn't show any bulges.

irishfield Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 The caps look more like an intentional restoration unit to hide a new cap in an old style can to keep an amp or similar looking original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, but the actual cap is only 1/3 the capacity and a lower voltage rating. Total scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
