A few odd looking capacitors. The set has you standard axial paper capacitor and the square to rectangular mica capacitors with the expected dot. The radio also has some rectangular black plastic capacitors that have round tapered ends - sort of football shaped. The capacitance is low, 5 to 500 pF typically and I'm not aware that any paper capacitors had such low capacitance. I have cut any off yet and I'm wondering if they stable like the mica capacitor or prone to change like the paper capacitors.
Anyone ever deal with these?
