I sure am glad you could clarify that. HQ-180A's don't have paper caps.


Are you sure about that? I know the vast majority of caps in there are
ceramic discs, but I recall some paper stuff as well in the detector stage.

The ceramics do fail sometimes too, but not very often. It's a major pain
to find them when they do, though.
