Entirely possible Frank. At this point I remember
the component itself but none of the context.
It was bigger of course than a real mica cap.
I've also seen one or two paper tubulars that
exploded when used as line bypass caps.

Now that you mention the name, I seem to
recall a discussion of same a ways back on
the antiques group.
