I made the original inquiry about the nylon I found at the ace hardware store .
These little cylinders are the same size,shape as ceramic standoff insulators
commonly used in amplifiers. I was looking for a low cost replacement for
ceramic standoff insulators made expensive by the "PARTS MERCENARIES" that seem
to have infected our hobby today.
It is likely I will fork over to get ceramic as I don't want to take chances,
with nylon melting ,softening. or crystallizing. What with big
bangs,kapow,parasitics, spark gaps and other problems. I will play it safe.
Nylon goes back to ace. what about glass?
Nylon cylinders cost a quarter. ceramic, well a lot more.
anyone know of a low cost source for ceramic standoff insulators,3/8"
diameter,length 1/2"
or something similar.
