"Micamold" capacitors are in actuality nothing more than paper capacitors in a molded case which looks like a mica capacitor.  "Micamold" capacitors are notoriously unreliable and should be shotgunned on sight.

Micamold seems to be a brand name, and i see many different kinds of 
capacitors on the web with that name. Quite confusing. Some obviously 
not mica but the others had me fooled.
