I think I have some old 'Newmarket' (if that was the name)

I should dig some of them out... :-) IIRC they are still in the
corrugated cardboard in the boxes in which they were bought.



Would those be the ones in the flat cans with yellow & green spots for
audio and a red spot for RF, Jim?

Interesting page for flat cans:

Another for "top hat" cans:

Crumbs! People have webpages for everything! :-)

Afraid that at the moment I'm not sure which types they are. Not looked at
them for ages.

I think they are in metal cylindrical cans with no flange. They are in a
drawer 'at work'. All being well I'll be popping in to work next week
before Xmas to give good wishes and borrow an oscillator. If I remember
I'll have a look and report what they are. They are part of a stock of ye
anciente components that somehow were left over from days or yore. Never
throw anything away.... I still have a PX4 or 25 IIRC that I use to show
undergrads what electronics used to be like in the days before even *I*
were a lad! :-)

Slainte,

Jim
