Need Info On These Mallories

Post by Blackburn »

Just got these old Mallories and I don't know how they differ from the orange ones, other than being blue. I've read a bit about them in the past through searches, but haven't come across too much info. They say 'EPM' on them. Construction looks to be pretty similar, but I can't speak for what's going on internally.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks! I didn't know they are polypropylene caps. I just couldn't turn them down for what I paid.

Maybe I'll use some in the inverter section of a Rocket. :D

What is the value of the smaller ones?

Those .05s would be good for splitting presonance. I wonder if they made all the values I look for.

The smallest values are .001uf and .0068uf and they're the ones at the very bottom.

I hadn't thought about using the .05ufs for the presonance circuit. :D
