Didn't the old paper caps use oil-soaked
paper as the dielectric?
The oil caps actually were paper, but the oil soaked the paper
through. Plain paper capacitors generally had no oil.

Hi
When I was a kid, I'd distruct old radios and TV's. Every
paper capacitor I unrolled has some oil in the paper.
I used to open evering up. I'd unroll transformers, smash
tubes to see what was on the inside.
I probably have more PCB's in my system than the average.
