Identifying capacitor type

I found a schematic for my JCM 900 4100, but am confirming that C4 is a film capacitor and C3 is a color coded ceramic capacitor.
 
Hi Charm,
Is this a power supply?

If so, either Polyester or Polypropylene will do fine. The best way to to measure the dielectric constant, that will tell you what they are. Of course, cheap testers do not have the resolution to differentiate. Power supply bypass is different to signal coupling when there is filtering involved.
 
I thank everyone who responded to help, the issue was decided differently. I already agree that the dielectric can be polypropylene, although the search for code 8410 did not give anything. But the choice disappears even by the fact that it is a noise-diving X-condenser.

For what it’s worth, 8410 is likely the date code indicating the year and week of the cap's manufacture. It designates the 10th week of 1984. It jibes with the 1985 date codes on the board tags at lower left, and the 84XX date codes on the transistors.
