Aren't there several different kinds of Micamold capacitors?

The black lozenge-shaped ones in the BC-348s seem to always 
be shorted or very leaky. On the other hand, I encountered 
square brown Micamolds in a Hallicrafters R-45 and they were 
all good.

     Micamold made both paper and mica caps.  Its the paper 
ones that are trouble. I am not sure about the lozenge 
shaped ones. My AR-88 has several gray or pink lozenge 
shaped caps which seem all to be good but I don't know if 
they were made by Micamold.
