That definitive answer pretty much confirms what we managed to work out. Now where's the OP gone in all this ? Don't seem to have heard from him at all since his first post ... Arfa

Hmm, I'm just trying to imagine the same scenario from a Japanese perspective, ie a bunch of Japanese speakers trying to decipher some English hieroglyphics. ;-) ____ ____ ____ | | | | \ |___| |--- | | | \ |___ |___/ - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.

I sure enjoyed reading the postings on this one ! As it turns out, this morning I found a guy here locally that has a few similar vintage caps used, but appearantly in good enough shape to let me meter the values off and identify the beast. My findings concurr with Johnny's. I wrote the designations in on the cap in the photo for all to see. http://members.aol.com/ta7205/MVC-084f.jpg So this should end the mystery once and for all. Thanks again, Spark

Johnny (and everyone) Thanks so much for your help. I can't believe all the postings. As it turns out, I found a guy here in town this morning that had simialr vintage caps in a junk box, but they appearantly were in good enough shape to let me meter out the values. I wish I had seen Johnny's post earlier. My finding completely concurr with his (and mom's).... I touched up the photo and typed the values in on the picture. http://members.aol.com/ta7205/MVC-084f.jpg I think this is solved once and for all. Thanks again. Spark |
