Popstar:
Has anyone got a pair of working condensers  for a 500 k1 that they would like to sell? £25 ish for a pair on line.

Bryanj:
Try buying genuine ones, i think they are £25 EACH. The conmplete points plate is still available fo about £100 which is less than buying points and condensers.
Carfull with aftermarket there have been a lotof reports on the US forum of Daichi ones only lasting 2 weeks

What symptoms do you have? Connectors fit correctly? No shorting by the connectors to ground?

Popstar:
Classic symptoms, they are throwing yellow sparks out like a welders torch and not a low key blue.

deltarider:
Check the surfaces of the points. Are they severely pitted? I ask this, because the symptons you describe, can also be caused by breakerpoints connectors not correctly mounted (intermittent contacting the plate) and even by breakerpoints parts that have been loosened too far apart, possibly resulting in a misaligned center isolator. Once happened to me. Below a pic that shows the order of the parts. The tiny isolator ring in the middle could be misaligned. My TEC breakerpoints have two of them, but I cannot claim all breakerpoints have two.
