In Detail:

Capacitors:

FINALLY: You had to wait a long time but it´s been worth it:
Now available: Our axial lead HighGrade 5% tolerance film caps
(polypropylene) with bipolar design, highly conductive copper leads and
black-golden outer design are available from stock.
Ratings: 1nF to 1uF at 1500 VDC, 2,2uF to 100 uF at 630 V and 10 uF at
1000 VDC.
This caps are perfect for new designs, repairs and restauration projects.
See http://www.askjanfirst.com/k2.htm

New electrolytics, made in Germany, special ratings for guitar amp
service from stock.
See http://www.askjanfirst.com/k1.htm

New electrolytics, made in Germany, up to 550/600 V in screwmount can.
Highly dependable, reliable parts.
See http://www.askjanfirst.com/k1.htm

High Voltage rating up to 40kV ? No problem. From stock: film capacitors
rated 1 nF to 50 nF at 20 and 40 kV. Made in Germany, brand new.
See http://www.askjanfirst.com/k3.htm


German made PIO caps: NOS PIOs rated .1 MFD to 20MFD at various
voltages. We were able to buy them at a really good price so we sell
them cheaply.
See http://www.askjanfirst.com/k4.htm

For Power applications, power supplies, speaker crossovers etc:
Paper-in-oil and polypropylene-film in oil. Most of them are now being
made with environmentally friendly castor oil ( vegetable oil)Many
different versions from stock.
See http://www.askjanfirst.com/k4.htm

Legendary ROE1845 blue, West German made NOS caps and other (RIFA, ERO
etc.) NOS caps. As stock lasts.

******************

Cloth covered push-and-hook-wire, AWG22, for restauration.
„Nothing new“, you will say ?
BUT this one is NEW.
Compared to the version sold in the US it´s much safer to use since it
uses an enamel wire with two layers of cotton. The enamel is solderable
so it can be used and soldered like a non-isolated wire but the enamel
also offers improved isolation compared to a blank wire with cotton
around it.
Many colors, chosen to suit for all common restauration projects. Sold
by the meter ( 1m = approx 3,3ft)
See http://www.askjanfirst.com/newsletter1104.htm

High voltage cables rated 6,25 and 30kV for high reliability uses.
See http://www.askjanfirst.com/newsletter1104.htm

Silk isolated litz wire for high frequency coils in many different versions
See http://www.askjanfirst.com/newsletter1104.htm

Solid bronze wire, solderable, for antenna-builders. Best compromise
between conductivity and mechanical strength.
See http://www.askjanfirst.com/newsletter1104.htm

***********************

Resistors:

NOS German made Draloric 1,5-2 W carbon resistors.
Combine tight tolerances of metal film resistors with sonic performance
of carbon resistors. PURE carbon resistors, NOS.
See http://www.askjanfirst.com/newsletter1104.htm

***********************

Sockets:

-Gold plated giant sockets.

-East German „Gnom“ tube sockets, collector´s item, very rare.

-ORIGINAL US Burroughs MICANOL 9pin miniature sockets, still
individually sealed military quality.

-Single pin receptacles safe a lot of nerves and solve many
hard-to-find-socket problems. Wide range available from
stock.

- Past complains about the quality of our German Side contact sockets
(for AD1etc) and our 8/10 pin German Steel tube socket ( EL 156 etc)
have resulted in a redesign. From now on, our FAS016 and FAS400 are
being sold with NEW, IMPROVED contacts with a design EXACTLY EQUAL to
that of the vintage sockets.

See http://www.askjanfirst.com/newsletter1104.htm

We were able to obtain a stock of HeNe laser tubes and the corresponding
power supplies plus some more HV parts.
