I bought 4 lots of, and I quote,: " (5) Aerovox 19.5uF Motor run capacitors. $4.50 each." I think that's too cheap for 5 pieces so I figure its an E-Bayism and buy it now for a quantity of 4. $30 with shipping. Then I wait to see if I get 4 pieces or twenty. They just came. 20, Brand new oil caps! A buck fifty each! Hey, they all have a .5 megohm resistor across the terminals. Never seen that before. Leave it? Or is it for storage?

Sweet! Such a deal.The shunt resistors are to discharge the capacitors so they don't maintain a dangerously high voltage. Leave 'em in place if they'll be in high voltage circuits. It is such a high resistance, it won't make the capacitors act leaky. If the caps are used in low voltage circuits, it doesn't matter as much.

What the heck can I do with 20 except build a single-ended air conditioner?:) Perfect for the 1.6k crossover and I'm listening to them now. Greater clarity than the Eminence generic caps they replaced but obviously still breaking in. I'm hearing changes.

Bill, I got some 22uF Obligato caps from DIY Hifi that you recommended for parafeed caps to use in a xover I'm working on- do you think the Aerovox's are better than those? Have you a/b'd them? how're the DE250's doing? Keepers or are you continuing the quest? Matts

I'm waiting on the mail gal to bring me a pair of those 22uF Obbligatos so we'll find out soon. As for the DE-250s, apart from being forever spoiled by the 1812s 2" 2446 and Speakermans GP 399s, I think they're the best 1" I've heard. Keepers.
