odd molded mica capacitor code

Posted by Chuck Schwark on 02/27/2004 09:18

:Hello All,
:This is in a Philco 37-610. I am supposed to have 110pf capacitors. Two are marked yellow-brown-blue. This makes no sense. That would be 41,000,000 pf or 41 microfarads. Is there another color code for molded capacitors? The only other one I know of is with two dots on each side. This is definitely not the case. These are three color dots along an arrow, just the way they're supposed to be.
:
:If anyone wants, I will post a picture of them. (Where can I do that?)
:If anyone can help, please do. Otherwise, I'm replacing them.

:Thanks,

:Dave...

Dave,

Mica caps usually do not have to be replaced - they rarely go bad. It's the wax-paper, bakelite block and metal-can caps that you must replace.
