50W ss Arrowslim series capacitor
First cleanup and test of 50W Arrowslim switchstart fitting from the May 2019 meet. It struggles to start with weak preheat, and the tube flickers a bit while running as if the starter is partially glowing. I can understand why they moved to SRS. Capacitor manufactured in 1966?

I think 1966 is printed on many capacitors but is actually a date of the regulation they conform to.

Yes, it's the date the relevant B.S. number came into being.
