A lot or actually most all of the old caps are PIO, (paper in oil) and yes they sound great. You need to find the right value though, and sometimes the leads are cut short. I solder new leads on and put a little piece of cloth wire on for shield, works for me...
mfd is micro farad, it is a unit of measurement .022 is a reading in micro vs pico u...I always use mfd to avoid confusion and it seems to be the common norm with Fender & Gibson Caps....Multimeter has to have a setting for capacitors, uf mf pf..many small ones don't unless it is good one.
