Starnge capacitor...anyone know these?

[John Lyons]

Anyone familiar with these caps? They have a pointy end with concentric circles. Hard clear plastic case. I think they are foil ( I can see the foil through the clear case...) I removed a few of them from a broken cassette tape deck/

Polystyrene!
(edit: JYNX!!!)

I use em sometimes, cept the particular ones i have are more phallic and less "nippley" than yours... lol  

I like em... Use em!  They're great for tight fits (just don't melt them), and the leads are really flexible (just don't break them).
