Notes
According to the FC2 archive, unicon was historically a brand of the electronic-components division of Nihongas Koji. It was described as Japan's only manufacturer open to OEM production of axial-lead capacitors. After the electronics division closed, Unielecs was reportedly established and continued production. The related Taiwanese company GEMMY produced radial-lead unicon parts. The archive also shows an example with a white sleeve.
