Hi Brian,
How did you determine that the capacitor was paper. At such a low value, I
suspect that the capacitor may be what is called a GIMMICK capacitor. A
Gimmick capacitor is made by twisting 2 wires together. Just take the 2
insulated ends of the wires and twist them together. The 2 wires are not
connected but just wrapped together. The value of capacitance is determined
by the number of times the wires are twisted together. A capacitance meter
is real handy in this case.
