00:00:07.330 00:00:07.340 hey everybody this is tom from amplified
00:00:10.070 00:00:10.080 parts and today we're gonna give you a
00:00:11.660 00:00:11.670 behind-the-scenes look at the production
00:00:13.339 00:00:13.349 process for the can capacitors from c ii
00:00:15.519 00:00:15.529 manufacturing this is part one in a
00:00:17.660 00:00:17.670 series of videos the capacitors are made
00:00:19.700 00:00:19.710 with original vintage malory machinery
00:00:22.010 00:00:22.020 we'll show you some of that today
00:00:23.630 00:00:23.640 but there's plenty of interesting stuff
00:00:25.099 00:00:25.109 that we'll get to in the follow up
00:00:26.359 00:00:26.369 videos as we take a deep dive into the
00:00:28.099 00:00:28.109 process so stay tuned hi I'm Yvonne I'm
00:00:31.759 00:00:31.769 the manager of our production line where
00:00:33.920 00:00:33.930 we make vintage style electrolytic and
00:00:37.070 00:00:37.080 capacitors what makes our capacitors so
00:00:40.310 00:00:40.320 unique is that we use antique equipment
00:00:43.070 00:00:43.080 original malory machines and we make
00:00:46.100 00:00:46.110 every capacitor and test every capacitor
00:00:48.500 00:00:48.510 by hand over 20 years ago we purchased
00:00:50.930 00:00:50.940 this equipment from a company in Mexico
00:00:53.000 00:00:53.010 and brought it to the United States we
00:00:55.250 00:00:55.260 were very fortunate to find a brilliant
00:00:57.079 00:00:57.089 mechanic who has managed to keep this
00:00:59.030 00:00:59.040 antique antiquated equipment running
00:01:01.939 00:01:01.949 smoothly and running smoothly for 20
00:01:04.189 00:01:04.199 years when we first started
00:01:06.590 00:01:06.600 manufacturing these capacitors we only
00:01:09.320 00:01:09.330 had a few values one of them of the most
00:01:11.210 00:01:11.220 popular ones but since that time we have
00:01:13.550 00:01:13.560 built up inventory of over 30 different
00:01:15.680 00:01:15.690 types our vintage electrolytic
00:01:19.250 00:01:19.260 capacitors are used in amplifiers high
00:01:22.250 00:01:22.260 fiyah quipment and in antique radios
00:01:24.770 00:01:24.780 here we are outside the door of seiga
00:01:26.960 00:01:26.970 manufacturing let's go in and take a
00:01:29.180 00:01:29.190 look at that malory equipment this is P
00:01:37.820 00:01:37.830 our mechanic he managed to keep this
00:01:40.010 00:01:40.020 Mallory equipment working in the last 20
00:01:42.080 00:01:42.090 years hello nice to meet you this is the
00:01:45.050 00:01:45.060 stamping machine where we stamp out
00:01:47.120 00:01:47.130 sections of anode and cathode during
00:01:49.730 00:01:49.740 that process tab is attached to each of
00:01:53.060 00:01:53.070 the sections and that tab ultimately is
00:01:55.969 00:01:55.979 welded to the lugs that the user will
00:01:59.030 00:01:59.040 then clip into that piece of equipment
00:02:05.580 00:02:05.590 00:02:28.200 00:02:28.210 00:02:33.150 00:02:33.160 we're now at the step where we use the
00:02:35.890 00:02:35.900 winding machine the winding machine
00:02:38.380 00:02:38.390 takes the sections of a nose and puts
00:02:41.410 00:02:41.420 them in between craft paper around the
00:02:44.650 00:02:44.660 cathode heat makes it look really easy
00:02:47.290 00:02:47.300 and trust me it's not there's a true art
00:02:50.260 00:02:50.270 to blinding a capacitor
00:02:53.360 00:02:53.370 00:03:39.090 00:03:39.100 this is the finished winding of the
00:03:41.350 00:03:41.360 capacitor and these aluminium tabs are
00:03:43.930 00:03:43.940 the tabs that are attached to the anode
00:03:46.480 00:03:46.490 and cathode in the stamping process
00:03:48.400 00:03:48.410 ultimately these tabs are fed through
00:03:51.820 00:03:51.830 these solder lugs and welded these are
00:03:55.750 00:03:55.760 the lugs that will attach to a piece of
00:03:57.280 00:03:57.290 equipment in our next video we'll pick
00:03:59.920 00:03:59.930 up where we left off and show you the
00:04:01.510 00:04:01.520 next steps in the production process as
00:04:03.370 00:04:03.380 well as the machines that are used after
00:04:05.140 00:04:05.150 the capacitors have been wound thanks
00:04:07.600 00:04:07.610 for watching the video let us know you
