Dumble parts

[selloutrr]

Hope this is a quick question

Which brand and model are the correct dumble components I.e. Resistors and caps.

Electrolytics Sprague (discontinued yellow in power supply)

tone caps. Sprague... 716?

[ChrisM]

Coupling caps were generally 6PS. He used others though.

Thank you which brand or resistors were the whitish grey ones used in #40

[ChrisM]

Mepco most likely. Not in production anymore.

[selloutrr]

Thank you. I notice the mepco resistors came in alot of fractional values very cool!

Who makes the other resistors? Where they all mepco just carbon comp versus precision?

[David Root]

I don't think they were any particular brand, the carbon films that is. They were not carbon comp, except maybe in the very early ones that preceded ODS#1 or so.

FWIW, I was unable to find any of the old blue-ish Mepco resistors for my #40 build. I used Vishay/Dale RN65s for the plates and I don't seem to have the 'harshness' that a lot of people complain about in the older silver face amps.
Now that might be attributable to something else down the line....but you know....just sayin'....
