[R-390] Orange Drop question

[Bill Smith]

They may be ok.  The caps I use are "non-inductively wound" (don't know what
that really means).  At any rate, they are not supposed to have an "outside"
and have no identifying stripe.

I have never tested them to verify.

Perhaps Orange Drops have adopted this construction approach.  Are the caps
you have marked with their capacitance value and voltage rating?
