No I wouldn't ever pay the price that .022 400v is worth unless I was restoring old wood. You can buy other values much, much cheaper. Besides, IMO .022 is a touch dark anyway. I prefer .010, .015, .018
+++1,....i love the ones i bought on ebay that were nos copper foil caps and lovem in the gtr's i put them in smooth and sweet.
