Big Wima

[Geordie McBoyne]

Here's an old and big Wima. This is the capacitor that nearly finished off my Telequipment S31 oscilloscope. It was used in the EHT voltage doubling circuit. It and the selenium stick rectifier had both gone short circuit.  
Similar Wima "Tropydur" capacitors were to be found in many Decca TVs made around 1959/60. The DM45 was full of the things.
