Wow.... a rainbow indeed ! Purple, white/beige, brown, and black as BD said.... someone for everyone !  :-DD

Me I prefer the bright yellow ones. Like the colour, plus it makes those horror caps easier to spot !!  8)

Second pic shows also an example of the one shaped like a silver mica as BD mentioned... hmmm... trap for young players here, didn't know about that, will keep that in mind...

There were also bumble bee striped ones, & the very strange hard grey, cylindrical plastic encased tants with one conical end, beloved of Harris back in the day.
They were used in their AM modulation monitors, & at first sight, were easily taken for some type of rectifier.
In such devices, they were subject to reasonably high levels of RF, which they didn't like at all.

I think it is a 31/8" one.
There is another size of rigid coax, just a bit smaller in diameter, which it could be, but I think it is the bigger one.

In the series "How to make your home better using Test Equipment" we today present the Fluke 51:



Coupled (hehe) to a stainless process control sensor it makes for an excellent steak thermometer, which will be accurate and survive in my low-end Weber kettle grill.  Guests and family were thrilled with the results. Also note the clever use of food-grade twine in a USN approved lacing pattern. (excepting the ends, that is; but the running knots are to form.)

Also, for the ceviche starter, we had an amazing wine, Walter J Oster 2014 Bremmer Calmont Riesling (the link is for the 2018 which is the one available now) which was about ready to be had after some 7 years in our cellar.

Beautiful scene, but I hate summer with all my heart¹.
