If you mean the 20 mfd electrolytic that is how it’s supposed to be - it’s connected to ground. I’m replacing that with a proper 10mfd. The orange drops and carbon comp resistors were in there as found. I’ve generally used the tubular caps with no big issues but suggestions on a particular brand are welcome.
I agree on the wires. I’ve struggling along with these wire cutters that are just too big. I’ll upgrade to a better set of tools. I’ve been using these from Harbor Freight but they aren’t making the grade.
I recently upgraded to a Yihua soldering station and got a solderpullet. I’m normally soldering at 710 degrees
If you have a brand name for those German tools I’ll take a look. I see Graingers has Knipex which I think is what you mean
