I actually enjoy esoteric discussions about components. Not much of this was covered in school. There is a pretty good discussion on the subject of film caps in Wiki.
I had planned to replace most of the caps in my '54 Motorola R-390A with 400WVDC Panasonic PP metalized film caps. Although conservatively I was going to use a 600WVDC PP film cap "Sprague OD" for the filter coupling cap. Has anyone experienced failures with caps such as these used for replacement purposes?
