Are chicklets polystyrene? I didn’t think many of that type exists anymore? I can’t think of any normal brand that is built like that anymore

There’s nothing wrong with polypropylene orange drops. I use them in certain locations. They serve a purpose and sound good ?

This is what I found on the Marshall forum, not too long ago....

"Those chiclet caps are Philips MKT-P and according to my spec sheet "consist of a low-inductive wound cell of metallized polyester film and blank paper, potted in a flame-retardant case."

Here's a strange thing I noticed; my 72 didn't have the bright cap. So I found an Erie 5K disc, I assume it's Ceramic, on ebay, super cheap...put it in, sounds great. The Chicklet set I bought, came with a Ceramic 5k of an unknown mfr....So for curiosity sake I put it in...the tone got super mid scooped...I put the Erie back in of course...I had no idea that bright caps could do that. Lol
