odd molded mica capacitor code

Posted by Dave Froehlich on 02/27/2004 11:03

Chuck,
I know this. I'll look on your site again. But I don't think I am going to find that Yellow, brown, blue adds up to 110.

Thanks,

Dave...

::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.

: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.
