I just had a look at the Nostalgia Air documentation. Generally, paper caps are identified visually and by value. Paper caps are usually tubular and have a black stripe on one end called the "outside foil". Values can be as low as .001mf (microfarads). You can buy the plastic film caps at 630 volts either from several sources here on the Forum or online from Mouser Electronics and others. When buying replacements for the electrolytics buy the 105° Japanese aluminum ones from Nichicon and others, or Illinois Capacitor. Modern capacitance values are slightly different from the originals, eg. .047mf vs .05mf. These will be sufficient replacements as the originals have a 20% tolerance.
