Tropicaps?

Post by mumford »

In the last few months I've pulled several caps out of old PAs that I don't recognize the type. They're a bit bigger than a mallory 150, in a green plastic housing. At least one is marked "Micamold Tropicap."

Anyone used these before? Good for audio?

FYI--they are not tropical fish caps, they are all green.

I think the micamolds are paper.

If they aren't leaky you can. I'd test them for leakage though.
