The condensers from eBay arrived while I was out of town. Oddly, they sent two distinctly different parts, and I’m not sure what to make of it – one is marked USA and has mounting holes for #10 screw. The other, which is identical to the pictured item, isn’t marked at all, and has mounting holes for #6 or #8 screw.
Seems like I got one new production, and one "NOS" (marked USA).. the NOS also has some rust starting on the case. I may raise these issues with the seller, haven’t decided.. to make it work, I removed the bracket from one of the old condensers and soldered it onto the new one.
Both devices measure much the same as each other, around 0.197uF and 0.65 ohm ESR. These specs meet those of "white", in the earlier discussion. They are installed in the mag plate of the TD20, which is making uniform, blue sparks at low cranking speed.
