Making a new condenser
More or less finished. Sealed the slot and filled either side of the can with hi temp silicone. The top cap of the can was made from the plastic backing of a Coleman lantern pump with a #10 screw through it. A nut holds the screw in place. A #10 ring terminal is crimped and soldered to the + side of the cap and that is slipped over the screw. The original Velosolex connector then fits over the screw atop the ring terminal and the whole works is held in place with a nylock nut.
Will let the thing sit to allow the silicone to cure but I get a good reading from the capacitance meter that everything went together right.
