Info On Mystery Philips Caps

[FourT6and2]

Anybody know anything about these? They are supposedly ceramic. But I see them listed along with the Philips/Mullard "Tropical Fish" polyester caps on some online vendors. But the one pictured here are supposedly ceramic, 500v. Would love an actual model number or data sheet.

Those are ceramic tube caps, vertical version. I remember them well, hope someone has an old databook lying around.

Philips "Pin-up" caps, haven't seen one of those in a long while. Designed in the eary 60's for machine insertion, maybe just a way to get a smaller footprint radial package. Also manufactured by Mullard.

Very cool, thanks.

I wonder if I should use a few in a guitar amp build for treble/bright cacps or just frame this thing as art work?

Ah, "pinup" capacitors, I'd forgotten that name. Please keep it, seeing it's complete it's worth saving.
