The Russian SSGs are quite special...

Way better than the typical "silver mica" capacitors of current vintage, both in build and in appearance. The only problem is their physical size (big) and the fact that the outer casing is metallic, which means it cannot be allowed to touch other circuit elements. In fact, so far the SSGs are the only Russian capacitors I have tried that really do live up to their advance billing, and then some. I did not find the Russian teflon caps to be on par with teflon caps made by REL or sold under the VCap label, for one example. When it comes to teflon, there's no free lunch.

They come with little tags for soldering to. I recommend removing those tags (they easily fall off if you heat them with a solder gun) and soldering direct to the nubbin-like contacts.
