[Hallicrafters] Dur-Paper

[Art Lebermann]

Joe...
I checked the capacitor listings in the "Radio-Electronic Master" catalogs
for 1957 and 1963.  I did not find any "Dur-Paper" capacitors.  However - I
did find "Dur-Mica" (silver mica) capacitors by Arco-Elmenco.  I'd guess
that Elmenco also made the "Dur-Paper" caps?  Have you examined the actual
parts?
