Does not these type caps have a pos or neg side? And I have a cap that says.0033 mfd, 1600 VDC. Do they make a cap with that much voltage and if so where can I get one. Thanks...

No, wax/paper and the modern film are not polarized. The old tubular w/p cap have foil side and sometime is marked as the ground side.

Short answer is use 3, .01 630v caps in series.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
