    image.jpg image.jpg Tried the search function and didn't get my answer so thought I would try a post. I picked this up with a 51 8cm flathead. Would like to identify it and what would be the best route to go in using it? Not seeing a 6p or 6n on the cap nor 12p or 12n so not sure how to check for voltage. Send it to Bubba's for some kind of one wire update?

    Old stuff is new to me so wasn't sure if anything would be voltage sensitive.
