Then came a mail
"woops, wouldn't you know it, I've sent your package to China by mistake…"
Yeah, yeah, I was about to delete and forget it, when I noticed the seller was offering to make good out of his "5 kilo" stash.
So I replied that I was only interested in WIMA TFF 400V, 630,V 1000V and listed those values which we prefer.
Daily reports by mail arrived with the blow by blow progress of searching for TFF among hundreds of old caps, plus suggestions of what I could write in the feedback and that I could get 3 or 4 times more in the end. Then really a lot of photos were sent so that I could say yes or no to this cap or the other. I just sent short "OK" replies each time.
Today the package arrived
There was a bonus too - the pile in the background. Those deep red ones are from f+t which I have never seen before. Most of the other look good, S+H, Ero Eroid etc.
I believe this is what you call a score, correct?
