Pictures for electronic parts

[roibm]

I was just thinking to start a thread on electronic parts where other users could post pictures(please keep 'em small) of different parts(especialy exotic parts)
Don't know if others agree on this, but sometimes is hard to know how a genuine/rare part looks like(especially the beginners liek me).
If the mods find this useful as well, this could be set to sticky.

And to break the ice...
These are 1500pf Philips polystyrene(aka styroflex) caps, made in the '80s(Jean-Paul said: but never mind, they don't age ( encapsulated = can't go wrong ))
They are nonmagnetic and are suposed to be pretty good.

Talking about parts, here's how you break parts according to the navy. This is one of the pages of my tube based impedance bridge.

Here's an oddball part. It's an acorn tube used for RF

Some pretty old electrolitics made by Frako

"Some pretty old electrolitics made by Frako"

I believe Revox used that brand of electrolytics in their model A77 reel to reel tape machines.

All ReVox stuff is full of those Frako caps. They go short-circuit very often nowdays, 20+ years on.
