(I don't know if Kemet made other capacitors used in Apollo.)
- chiph 7y agoThat's a bummer, but thanks for taking a look. Sprague was and still is a competitor to Kemet.
- thewonderidiot 7y agoTo the contrary! In our AGC, all of the capacitors not tucked into cordwood holes sport a KEMET logo and part number: https://photos.app.goo.gl/oGsrgXBpNMccmkWV7 https://photos.app.goo.gl/oGsrgXBpNMccmkWV7 I think the Computer History Museum's might have Sprague caps in it, though.
- CamperBob2 7y agoYep, that's the capacitor I was referring to below. At least some of them were definitely Kemet parts. I don't remember seeing any Sprague logos but I imagine there were some of those around, too.
