Being used in a substitution box they need to be accurate and stable. I seem to remember most of the paper caps were cylindrical and as reliable as a 2 week weather forcast. --- End quote --- Yeah, my bad. Paper ones were always cilindrical, you could see the layers from the sides. It was fun unrolling them, that's about all they were good for :P --- End quote --- They did make rectangular paper capacitors as shown at the first post here for M1 and M2: https://www.radiomuseum.org/forum/replacing_old_capacitors.html My ESI impedance bridge uses mica capacitors are shown for M4 at the above link with the colored dots for the oscillator and filter. |
