I've been sorting through recently acquired boxes of components that I got at the estate sale of an old-school ham radio operator. Even with my elementary level of knowledge I've been able to identify a lot of the parts (the obvious stuff). With the help of others I have most of the not-so-obvious stuff figured out. Then there's this thing. I've heard several guesses but no one seems 100% sure. Does anyone here know what this is in the attached photo?

Re: Mystery Component
These tuning inductors are pluggable, they plug into radios for use on certain bands. This one has thick winding wire so I would guess it's for a transmitter. The capacitor looks European?
Keep an eye out for more of them, they belong to a particular ham radio. Just stuff'em in a bag when going through the estate.Comment

Re: Mystery Component
I would like to make some measurements but from what I just read you can't really do that with a DMM. Sounds like I need to buy an LCR meter?Comment

ive got a modern digital clock radio approx 15yrs old
my question is how long can a clock radio or a simple radio last ss farcas operating hours?
since elec components have limited hour lifecspan i would imagine the radio or clock radio would eventually fail.
the reason i ask is because i have my clock radio on radio function 24/7 for the past 7 years and its still working fine....i leave the radio on ..never turn off past 7years...thats approx 60000 hours
it uses very little power just a few watts i would imagine that may have something... -

I have this old radio clock by Sony from the early 80s, I guess. The clock display works, but is dim, the function board appears to be OK - but the radio unit shows no signs of life. It doesn't produce a single noise, crack or anything from either FM or AM band. It's like it doesn't even power up.
i opened the radio and it is full of some TRACON gray capacitors. They only have their negative strip printed, voltage and capacitace markings - no series, no temperature marking, nothing else.
My question is, do you know of this brand of capacitors and how bad are...-
