I can’t recall whose work I was pirating, but I was interested in it anyway. The latter two paragraphs were added by me after consulting with you guys.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So, in the end, I got around to trying it myself. I bought this:- eBay item:- 152332450334<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It wasn’t hard to fit and in it went…..<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Now, I know less about capacitors and milliwotsits than I do about kiloton yields and so I just bought what seemed closest to the spec on the original article.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Results? Well, it was a success in a way. The needle didn’t bounce around but it was so damped that it moved like a glacier on a cold day. It did get up to where it should be, but took, quite literally, 5 minutes to do so. All good connections, all per the diagram. Gauge working fine before and after.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So…….I suppose that I bought the wrong thing. Can anybody be very kind and tell me <u>precisely </u>what I should have bought? All the clever little numbers and symbols. I don’t have to understand it; I just have to fit it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>And, before you all shout at once, I have Michael’s alternative in mind and will probably finish with it as a permanent fix. It’s just that I can’t bear to be beaten by a tuppeny-happeny capacitor.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Simon<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
