Has anyone seen these two types of capacitors?
floobydust:
Polystyrene are still in production, I get axial and radial Xicon parts from Mouser up to 10nF.
I still buy/use polystyrene for A/D integrator caps and high-end audio use, as only Teflon is a better dielectric. Once you use a few in an application where the dielectric's properties are important, then you easily see the differences.
The package melts easily and reflow is not the greatest for it, and it has relatively high self-inductance being a physically large part.
