Mustard caps

Post by Aurora »

Orange drops and vice versa are OK, but most european vintage amps were produced using Philips/Mallory "mustard" caps......of which I happen to have a good selection.... usually concidered as very good and accurate film caps in those days... any opinions??

I think they're Philips/Mullard "mustard" caps -- made in Turkey as I recall -- very cheap at the time, but part of the classic sound of British amps. They are worth significant $$$ for those needing to restore old Plexi's etc.
