Re: cornell or cornel? : )))

Looks like it's from the first batch of the original 942C caps (see labeling). I was the first to buy Geek Group MMC's way back whenever, and the writing looks the same, however, the ends of the roll were ok on my caps. Here's a pic of what my caps look like (ignore the polyurethane spillage over the caps [pulled from an earlier "stupid" idea]). These caps, although not pretty, have stood the test of time (and sparks). I filled the neighborhood with ozone last week on this same cap bank.

My opinion (FWIW), is they are an early version of the 942C series and the internal's are fine, but I agree, their outer appearance is crap. If cosmetics are of concern (and they certainly are to some folks), then I would return them and buy elsewhere (if possible). If that's not possible (or economical), then unwrap the outer sheath and give them a nice paint. 

Take care,
Bart

WTF!?  that DOES look like crap!  My caps are
beautiful.  Also, the printing only covers a very
small area of the case.
