According to the site that picture came from Gibson have gone back to using bumblebees in their latest reissue guitars. They also sell "vintage clone" bumblebees at UKP41 ea. So, has some chinese factory started making paper capacitors again or are they just encasing polyester caps in a black plastic shell?

I made my own bumblebee caps out of orange drops in parallel with 4.7 meg resistors. They sound awsome! ;^) ;^) ;^)

He did good! I sold a couple dozen over the winter. I didn't make a killing, but they did bring more than enough to pay for their replacements.
