HISTORY:
Ducon, now there's a name from the dim dark past! Our very own major capacitor manufacturer from Victoria which operated from just after WWII until the early 1960's
Not only does this capacitor store charge, it has stored history as well!
DUCON - Polystyrene Capacitor
Made in Australia
Circa late 1950's ~ early 1960's
Trade name: Styroseal

0.0039uF (3900pF) nominal value
1000V DC
10% tolerance
Axial orientation
DIMENSIONS:
21.5mm length x 10mm diameter
36mm x 0.4mm tinned wire leads each side
TESTING:
Oh my wordee, this is an old component but styro's are well known for their long term stability so I put this one under test on the capacitance meter ... 4120pF which is well within the manufacturers tolerance
COSMETIC CONDITION:
NEW Very Old Stock
NO damage to the capacitor body nor the leads (straight)
The tinned wire is CLEAN and shiny, ready for soldering after all this time waiting in the components drawers!
To preserve the condition of this capacitor, it has now been placed in a sealed clear plastic packet
