Default Re: Paper capacitors substitution

Metallised polyester in most cases.

Disc ceramics for low capacitance or high voltage, though watch the tolerance and temperature coefficient, there's all sorts of ceramic!

Polypropylene is better than polyester (lower losses) but the capacitors are larger.
