woodcote Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi Rob The 'Ferrite Man' is made of two parts - a ferrite bead and a ceramic disc capacitor. The bead is the body, the head and legs the capacitor. The arms are the wires that come of the capacitor legs just below the ceramic disc. The ferrite beads are a standard Scalextric part - W8424. A few vendors, including Pendle Slot Racing have them in stock. Pioneer Slot Cars use the same DPR system and sell the beads as part WR200062 - available at inaslot.com and other vendors who sell Pioneer parts. The ceramic disc capacitor used by Scalextric is a 103M capacitor. Although Scalextric do not offer this as a spare part, Pioneer sell part WR200315 - a pack of ten 10nf capacitors. There is a how-to thread on SlotForum that shows how the ferrite man is made: https://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69733 I hope that helps.
