Default Paper capacitor recap opinions?

Yes, the flat molded micas are starting to show their age. Although
generally more reliable than paper, I have found some bad ones in recent
1940s TV projects.

When in doubt, check 'em!

I read somewhere else that the plastic casing in Black Beauties, etc.,
developed microscopic cracks and admitted water vapor over the years,
causing the same problems as in paper caps.
