years ago?? I have also seen what appears to be that type cap, without the
trademark name on it? Anyone have the answers?? TIA, Ron Rich

Sprague sold off their Barre, Vermont plant where the Orange Drops
were made, I believe it was an employee buyout.  They are now called
SB Electronics, and are still making Orange Drops.

The 716P are the "preferred" caps for the amplifier rebuilders, they
have tinned copper leads instead of steel leads.
