Hi Guys- I’d like to know something about these capacitors. Are either of them electrolytic? The older one has a 1924 date on the label. After replacing 4 of them in a kit built 1920s radio I’m getting reception but also a loud hum indicative of bad filter caps. Thoughts on either cap? Thanks. - Rob Q.
