That was one of my lines of thinking, but I don't know much about gimmick capacitors. When I rewired the chassis I tried to get the gimmick to look the same. I've attached before and after pics. As you can can see, only one end of the two wires terminates to a dead end. I guess I can experiment with the length of the gimmick and the number of twists and see if that makes a difference. I also used 20 awg wire. Could that affect how the gimmick works?
