Rocket Polypropylene Caps

[Blackburn]

I've kinda been looking around for more info on these, including the Rocket layout and haven't really found much. I assume, if they were actually used in original Rockets, that they were Mallory or CDE. I may want to try some in my build, but want to know more. Anyone know?

I thought the Rocket used polyester caps, what did you end up using?

I believe the BOM and layout show C8----through C11. Panasonic- polyprop.
The other caps listed as PVC Mallory polyester,except the treble cap.

The panasonic are easy to find most places. I'm sure CDE or others would also be fine. Just depends on how close you want to follow the original info.

The one I built up earlier this year used all Sozo Mustards, and still does. I am planning on doing another one with this Edcor PT I've had for a bit. I'm thinking of doing like the layout says, with Polypropylenes in the PI section. Here are the caps I'll likely use and conveniently got exactly four .05uf with my order.

I also scored a good bundle of the Mallory PVCs at .015uf and will use a couple of those for the pre.

Thanks, Richie. I looked more than once and guess I just didn't catch that. Luckily, one quick Google search and the little red caps as seen on the layout are shown. I'm gonna use those blue Malllories from the link above pretty soon and see how it turns out with those.
