        These caps are metalized polypropylene if I recall correctly. A few
        years ago I got some samples of the caps from the manufacturer,
        Southern Electronics, when I was going to rebuild the voltage
        quadrupler section of a Keltron. I got the HX series diodes also
        but can't recall the manufacturers name. I can look it up tonight
        if anyones interested.
