Mica capacitors?

03-20-2007, 06:54 PM

I have an old Minstrel Amp that came with my Rickenbacker steel lap guitar.The problem is is that it used to work and when I took it apart I found a Mica capacitor with a wire that is seperated from the body of the capacitor.Well I can't resolder it so I need to replace it.
Does anyone here know what I could use insted of this or do they still make these someware?

Wouldn't it be something to see motherboards loaded with Mica capacitors?

Cornell Dubilier does mica caps. Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polypropylene or possibly polycarbonate film caps might also be suitable. Digi-Key has some CDE mica caps.
