Insulator of the Month
Reprinted from "Crown Jewels of the Wire", March 2005, inside front cover
Randy Wesner submitted this gem as his favorite insulator. It's a CD 134
Pennycuick, wide groove, signal with a continuous drip. That's a rounded
projection that goes all the way around the base, and can be clearly observed in
the photo above. Pennycuick's are known for their well formed threads. But
that's about all that's well formed on this specimen. The dome is tweaked to one
side, making the wire groove uneven. The glass is also clouded with milky
swirls. Randy obtained this favorite on eBay.
