I still see these in 10yo+/- VCR's. I speak of a silicon? slab about
a square inch, rectangular, not square, with two two-wire electrical
connections (sender and receiver?) on corners cut at 45-deg angles.
There are sort of harmonic dampening node points glued or whatever
to regular places along the block. All this inside a small plastic block.
Sounds like the same thing as what you're saying.
What might be the signal types and the delay time for these?
