Paper capacitor recap opinions?

These are mostly stacks of mica dielectric and aluminum foil electrodes rather than plated "silver mica" types. Mostly, they were use for high voltage transmitter circuits. They do not have the stability and very low leakage of the plated type but were useful for HV bypass use. I think they may suffer from the same problems with degradation of the bakelite shell that other caps seem to have. Also, the fact is that most of these caps are getting to be very old. -- --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |
