MKL = Metallized lacquer film
Reknown B32110 series capacitor from Siemens (Germany), removed from some excellent German audio equipment (shame about the power trannie though!)
BACKGROUND:
Sustainability is the name of the game! Anything (that has been tested and still functioning properly) should be repurposed creating saving in wasted Ee and reducing the poisoning our environment when items are buried in the earth at the local tip needlessly.
Never heard of Ee? It is a concept that creates a measurement of ALL things (not just electronics) that humans have made and the energy used in obtaining the raw material, processing the materials right through to a finished product and even should include the shipping of the item to the distributors/retailers.

This MKL (Metallized lacquer film) capacitor has been USED but it has been tested
Siemens (Germany) has been around for a very long time and had a reputation for very high quality components (although somewhat expensive!) but quite a long time ago they offloaded their component production to Vishay and others.
SIEMENS (GERMANY) - MKL Capacitor (1)

13mm??? ... these are "pulls", lifted off the PCB but the lead length has not been shortened further i.e not cut away.
Individually packed into a sealed clear plastic packet
TESTING:
Basic tests made of the available capacitor ... afterall this cap has been "around" for 50 years!
1: 11.1uF
Vloss = 0.2%
ESR=0.77 R
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED Tested
The shortened leads are clean and shiny
NO damage to the body
This is NOT an ongoing supply, once stock is exhausted there will be no further supply
