Re: I'm old 70+, the 70K system is old; good or bad omen?

Thanks Kuba, ? Yeh coming from the era of tubes I had assumed a dual cap¡so much for assuming. Now that¡¯s starting to make sense with the single component designator, but leaves the question which 2 out of the 3 leads make up the capacitor and what purpose does the third lead serve. Is it a non-electrical, mechanical only? I¡¯m working without a schematic even though I bought the CLIP from Artek which is minus the PS board. ? Pre-Thanks ? Gene/K7QHO ?

My assumption would be that the number of legs has not much to do with anything: it¡¯s a single capacitor each with 3 or 4 legs. Very common in that era. I¡¯ e got lots of contemporaneous Tektronix equipment that has the same capacitor styles. The double and triple electrolytics were a thing in the vacuum tube era. ? Thanks Paul, ? Just got the component location PDF on the site which provides me the PS cap numbers; also ordered the 70900A CLIP. However, looking at them I¡¯m confused further with the 3 leads. Only 1 component number associated with a dual capacitor¡huh? Hopefully the schematic will clarify this. ? Regards ? Gene ? ? Hi Gene
sorry made a mistake the 3 legged caps are on the Vishay N -cap ?and can be found on the hp 70000 groups
site. Regards Paul?
