[NJARC] NJARC] Bozak

[John Ruccolo]

Hi Darren/Folks,

"Most of the better speakers of the 60s and earlier used paper/wax/oil/film caps."

And that was my point earlier. If you're rebuilding really good speakers like Bozak, then use the film caps. For the more run-of-the-mill stuff and 50's/60's console hi-fi's, save yourself some bucks and just do the electrolytics back-to-back. (Since that's what they probably used anyway).
