Hello, and thanks for your time,
I am wondering what kind of caps these are in an old 1950's radio (wax, mica, ceramic, ?)
Can someone please identify the types?

Would they need to be replaced?...

Re: Old Radio Caps: are these any good?



thanks for the info.
Which ones are the electrolytic caps?...

Hello and thank you for your time,

I was hoping to get some help from this great forum to identify these caps (see images). They are from an old 1950's radio in which I want to restore.
From what I gather, its best to replace some old-style caps and also to leave some alone if they are mica or ceramic style for example.

My question is, do you think the caps in these images are good to keep or should they be replaced?

Types observed:

1) Big and small wine-red caps with a worn out plastic sheath and black text
2) Metallic...
