Does anyone know what king are the original capacitors in my Fisher 800-C? They are named "Euro Foil II", they looks like very nice ones but I can't figure what kind they are, Mylar, Film, Metal, Polly.. etc.

Any info...

P.S. they are leaky that why I need to replace them.

Mylar. That's polyester in a non-leisure suit form.
After thirty-some odd years of heat and current running through them, they're a little raggy. Replace them with basic polypropylene caps of the same value. The difference will be staggering.
