Toss any which say "Micamold". They aren't mica: they are paper and every one I have 
tested was leaky, some very badly leaky, and some even dead-shorted.

If you really want to test your caps, I can send you my other rebuilt Heathkit C-3. I have two.

I recently rebuilt a couple of National NC-57s, which were full of those Micamolds. There 
wasn't one single one of them which was worth keeping.
