[snip] Testing actual old mica caps before use is good advice, but there's no need to test anything above .001uf branded "Micamold". The notorious Micamold was a paper cap in a mica type domino case. The values typically run in the paper cap area, say .01 or .02 uf at 600V. I'm sure I've also seen tubular Micamold caps. The tubular Micamolds seem less disingenuous but are no more reliable.
