Wow! Come to think of it there is a funny looking mica cap that goes to a 6SN7 that is a sync tube. By funny I mean it is kind of slimy looking where as the others are dry. It does not get hot during use so I left it alone. It seems like there is a theory that ceramics and mica's seldom go bad. Maybe true but that doesent mean that they DONT go bad. I need to remember that.
Here's a good question (or two) that I think we all could use clarity on. Does it matter if you replace say a paper cap with a ceramic disc? Or can you replace the mica cap with an orange drop? I have never understood why old sets have so many different types. There must be a reason. Its seems like this topic has come up before.
I can think of some areas under a chassis where I would like to replace a big paper cap with a modern ceramic disc type.
