These are the last things I need to install into my VK-200 to complete the work! Almost there. Unfortunately, it took 8, yes 8 days shipping first class from Illinois to Oregon?? WTF?? Did some govenmental agency think they were "weapons of mass distruction" and hold them up to "inspect" them for days??

Anyway, I will be installing them as soon as I post this. :smile:

Can't wait to fire the VK-200 up again and listen to some music! Pics are below per the rules.....:smile:

Edit: The seller sent me some free mundorf silver solder with the caps as well. Anyone ver use this solder? How does it compare to the Cardas Quadeutectic?

My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Naaah. They are actually exactly the same diameter, and about 6mm shorter than the BAT stock caps. They just look big in the pictures.

    Already got the leads bent and am about to solder them in. I will post pics after I do.

    Many of us use Cardas Quadeutectic solder. I used it on this project, but as I said I received some Mundorf solder free with the Mundorf caps. I haven't used it before though.

    The 0.22uF Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil caps are signal coupling caps.
