Paper in Oil

Posted by maxhifi on December 22, 2016 at 13:08:16:
There's the rectangular USSR made paper in oils all over eBay. I got a couple of them for another project, and they tested good on a Sprague tel-ohm-mike. Did not use them yet. Dead on value and no leakage. I suspect similar construction to the old US PIOs.

If nothing else I sure prefer the appearance of paper in oil caps over electrolytics.. they're always a sign of serious quality in vintage gear.
