  • Notes
  • Pin-jack socket. The advert is boasting: "...the windings are so separated by air passages that self-capacity is practically nil"...
    Measurements taken of a No.70 coil gave the following results:
    an inductance of 380 µH and a self-capacity of ca 55 pF. That is far from nil, and even higher than the average for coils of similar size.
    Nothing dramatic, just the good old advertising exaggeration. Not much has changed in the meantime...
