[Amps] Slightly OT - Looking for source to replace theteflon/plastic dielectric used in Nye Viking MB-V-A paddingcapacitors

[Jim W7RY]

It's probably Teflon. Do an Ebay search on Teflon sheet. There are lots of 
folks selling small quantities. Or check locally if you have a plastics 
supplier locally. Easier and simpler to order it. Saves driving.
