That particular cap is not paper. It is mica. Unusual for such a high value in mica, but, not un heard of.
RCA, and, Zenith were good for those types of tricks. Mica mold paper caps have the value written on. No dots. I have had paper mica molds explde. RCA used those in an early three tube 45 rpm player. Before I realized what was happenning, and, this was 23 years ago, I was getting distorted sound, a bad odor, and, smoke. Un plugged it, and, took it apart after I heard a loud pop. Two mica mold paper caps had exploded. Bill Cahill
