Thx Richard.
Arran, the 0.02 caps in mine are also 100v. As I mentioned the original paper tube is just a little smaller than the modern yellow caps. After warming the tube and pulling the guts out, a slit down the side of the tube with an exacto knife allows you to open it up just enough to slide the cap in. With the slit placed out of sight you can’t tell it’s been slit.

Cheers,
Bob
