Hello all,

I have a radio (Emerson Model F) from 1929 that
has a three section Mershon Condenser as the filter
caps (8 uF each).

I have removed it from the chassis and at least for
now have replaced it with modern 10 uF caps. The
radio is working fine.

I am wondering if this cap has any collector value?
I did not see any listed on eBay at all but I have
heard that they are sought after by collectors etc...

It would need to be gutted and re-stuffed of course,
it is very corroded along the top copper rim.

Anyone know anything about these caps?

Thanks,

Herb, KA2ZOH
