Bakelite Block Question - n9vu - 02-17-2007

Hi Guys,

One quick question, is a bakelite block labeled 3903DDG the same as this configuration that I found online?

3903-DG 2 .01 .01

That's ODG ("oh-dee-gee"), and yes, same configuration. The 'O' simply means that this "universal style" block used hi-temp wax impregnation. See page 2-3 in "Philco Condensers and More," 2nd. edition by Ray Bintliff. Info on my bakelite block condenser page.
