Thanks Pete. I'm still not totally clear (my own fault).
When you say "This spike
can be 400 volts
or more", you're saying it can be 'a number up to 400, or more'. Effectively, 'any number' would fall into this category.
So to keep this Model A related, is 400v a value that has been measured on a Model A (or similar) system with an oscilloscope or other appropriate equipment?
Future buyers of condensers will be happy to know they are buying condensers properly rated for their Model A.
