In this video we examine a variety of specialty capacitors as well as some common components.  I smash open a high voltage capacitor to see what's inside.  I show you a vintage resistor-capacitor tester.  Another look at how I store all of these devices.  And at the end is a tidbit for Ham Radio operators who have need for high power medium-wave/short-wave antenna matching.

There are an endless variety of capacitors available on the market as well as many you can salvage from old equipment.

In this video I present a variety of common types of resistors used in the last 50 years.  I do not cover current technologies such as surface-mount components as these will be the most familiar to new builders.
