Thank you Peter Kluken


all capaciters are internationel. they don' make capaceters in the
united states.



It was a brand name of imported repair parts from Japanese and other
countries sold in the US in the '60s and '70s. Tubes, capacitors,
resistors and i think they had some connectors in their product line.
They were about half the price of American made parts and some shops
used as much of their stuff as they could to maximize their profits.
Other shops stuck to American made parts, or OEM for repairs.

Yes, America still makes capacitors, but only the higher grades for
industrial and military applications.
