Still working on my Sylvania

Thanks for making that clear to me..I get my mords wixed very easily.
I can see you are reluctant to call the polystyrene cap ...a wax capacitor..but this sucker C196 looked just like the waxed paper ones ....as I was cutting them out.
It was not in a plastic encasement ..but a roll covered in wax.
I guess the roll inside has the polystyrene (PS) material that has better dielectrics or something.

That's correct. It looks just like any other paper capacitor, but it's not.
