102k is .1uFd. K has not been used to denote tolerance for some time now since production processes have vastly improved.
102 = 10 plus two 0s. K equals 1000pF hence 1000 + 1000pF = 1000000pF = .000001Fd = .1uFd...
I would invest in one of these for a project like this...

Sound clips would be nice too!

i really miss plainly marked values.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Dang! I stand corrected (it's been so long...)....apologies for any confusion caused..
104k as below = .1uFd = 100nFd...meter reads 98.8 nano...20 dollars to avoid all of this? where do I sing up?

Into the mic. Duh.

Ok, so it isn't just me thinking that it was easier when we would just write things in plain English (or even American English).

tell me about it. easier today but when taking into account older parts on older labeling conventions mistakes are commonplace...recently I spent a whole day trouble shooting a communication card at work that had a 68pF capacitor labeled 680p in place of a 680pF (correct value).:..how can procurement folks buy the right part if even us engineers are dazzled?...expensive mistakes often happen because of this..

All these numbers. Reminded me of a favorite:

 

[dagrev]

I PM’d him last week or so. No reply. I’m confident he’ll resurface. He always does. Miss Kat too. A few others reply when hailed, so it is just a sign of the strange times I suppose.

Glad you PM'd. I kept thinking of it--when it wasn't possible..... Hope all is well.

Make sure to check the reviews on there. I have found a lot of items lately where the seller gives a $10 Amazon card for a 5 star review. I was looking for a reliable digital blood pressure monitor and so many had the "paid" reviews.

What do "u" mean?

Zactly.

So any of you Thundercats replaced your sweet-spot pup with a DiMarzio Model One?

 

[Count Bassie]

And where there hell are Jeff and Kat??

And where there hell are Jeff and Kat??

heck, where the hell were you??

 

[Glenn Johnson]

Just thought I'd check in and say "Hi" to everyone in the Thunderbird Club. Dagrev was thoughtful enough to check in with me to make sure I was okay. I AM okay - just have a lot going on in my life. All of it good! I hope everyone is doing well. I will stay in touch, and will contribute my opinions/advice/whatever if warranted.
Thunderbirds are go!

Good to see ya Glenn.

Ran the sweeps on my Goth bird, the Tone Cap measures out at 71.3 nF Here's the sweep of the neck pickup full volume, tone control at 0:

Bridge Pickup:

The peak for the neck pickup is at 426 Hz the peak for the bridge pickup is at 282 Hz, running the numbers for the resonance gives an inductance of 1.96 H for the neck and 4.46 H for the bridge.

what are the respective coil Rs?

I'M RIGHT HERE!!

Lol... been busy. Being granddad, and associated stuff. Sorry...
