Hey!  It takes a long time to roll them up by hand :o))  But they are 
just poly and foil wrapped in a roll and held with tape.  Slosh 
solder and wire on the ends and they are done.

If you don't like the DCE caps, you would not like the maxwells all 
glued together with belt sander marks and that cheap label that falls 
off after a year ;-)))

Ok ;-))  We should not laugh too much since China certainly has been 
pumping out a surprising number of fake electronics parts >:-(  Here

Older ones may have a sunk in center band around them due to the 
thickness of the internal layers.  CD recently fixed that with 
another added band, but the old ones are fine too.  The writing has 
been known to be a little smeared too.  the white label turns a 
little yellow with age.

Hope yours are ok!
