Mike;
I've run into tubular paper caps like those before, they were made by a company called "Good All" and had some sort of putty in them that does not melt with heat. "Good All" in spite of the name, does not have a good reputation, a guy who fixes TVs on You Tube calls them "Bad All" and he lives in an area where even paper Aerovox caps seem to be good after 60 years.
I never did try soaking them in lacquer thinner, but I don't really have any equipment that used "Good All" caps as OEM components, plus they are from the 1950s and therefore too new to bother with.
Regards
Arran
