They are based on a polyester (Mylar) and aluminum foil. Most capacitors today are a metallized polyester. They vacuum impregnate the Mylar with an aluminum spray. They do not have the same AC pulse response as the true film and foil caps and you can plainly hear it.

Bah!!! Polyester and aluminum foil.  What does he know.

You want to use the "Leyden" brand - GLASS and FOIL

Those, and only those will give a vintage sound.

Sorry, but they don't come in orange or mustard yellow.
