MOLDED BRAND CAPACITORS
NEVER MADE BY AJAX


Contact to: consumerrelations@fender.com

Dear Engineer, Technician, Fender historian:

The Capacitor known as the Fender Molded Blue is a hot topic of discussion. These capacitors are in several amplifier models from 1962 to 1966. I would like to know who made them and were? These capacitors are recognized by a solid cast, molded blue plastic with a film and foil design. Most were made in a tubular axial design with a white paper label. No one that I have contacted doesn’t even have a shred of data or any proof at all these ever existed. Perhaps you have an old invoice (or anything documented) with the manufacturers name on it.

“Our Consumer Relations Department exists as a service to anyone interested in any FMIC™ product”. The FMIC Consumer Relations Department was contacted for comment by the posted Email address on 09-01-11. The response is as follows; “unfortunately we don’t have any database for prior ownerships parts/manufacturing information. Our database only dates back to 1994 for current ownership and that only tracks serial number info in reference to production dates”. A small Blue Molded Capacitors article was posted on the Fender Lounge Forum ™, (copyrights ion573™, 03-23-11) but produced no noteworthy feedback information. The article was completely deleted 08-30-11 after 800 nonproductive viewings.

Sorry everyone, as of now not even Fender knows. More later

There is nothing magical about blue molded capacitors. There are countless, inexpensive
capacitors that will function identically at audio frequencies. Save your money.
