I have taken a cap and cut in half to see what it looked like inside. Paper caps  lots of layers of foil and wax paper and more wax. Think about the age of the set, do you want to trust caps that old to work for another 10 or 20 years. Myself I want to fix them once, good quality caps should out last all of us on the Phorum. Good Luck with your project. David
