[NJARC] Capacitor question

[Nick Senker]

I repaired an old Philco radio that had a burnt 'micamold' part.  It looked like a mica cap but turned out to be a wire wound resistor!  Don't let the word 'micamold' fool you into thinking it's 'Mica"  Nick Senker

Joe et all,
Unless I missed it , no one mentioned that "Micamold" is a brand of 
capacitors (and resistors) that are made in a plastic package that resembles a mica 
capacitor. They are NOT however mica capacitors  but paper caps inside of a 
plastic case not unlike the infamous Sprague "black beautys"
