Here is the mki2 that I purchased from TAW on the west coast. I searched my gmail and didn't realize that I purchased these back in 2011. So they have years on them.

The genuine mains ones can split even when they have never had any voltage or even solder applied.
That's why I avoid MP capacitors :rolleyes:.
In the past WIMA made paper capacitors in their Tropydur and Durolit lines. All of them most probably have become leaky in the meantime and should be replaced if found in any old gear. But their recent film-foil (FK*) and metallized foil (MK*) series are out of question.
Best regards!
