40-180 Recap - Looking for tips/advice
#25

Philco had their own color code for mica caps. Here is a link to Chuck's site for a table of codes vs. actual values:

By the way, the problem with micamold caps only applied to later paper caps which were made in a case similar to those used for micas. These paper caps have the same problems typical of all other paper caps of the same vintage.

There has never been a reliability problem with actual mica caps made by micamold, but because of the confusion with the later paper types, all micamolds seem to have gotten a bad reputation.
