:My schematic shows a 100 mmf capacitor from the CT of the Audio Output transfformer to ground. How do I read 100 mmf on capacitors?
When all else fails, you can measure their value with a capacitance meter.

:More: I have orange drops labeled 122K 630 V. How is this read in MF? Thanks.
Or, just use a reasonably large voltage rating for replacement caps, e.g. >500V.
If the schematic shows just 10 or 100, you'd need to see what it's doing the the circuit or possibly go by the physical size of the cap.
10 might mean 10uF if it's a filter cap in the power supply section? It might mean 10uuF, except I've never encountered such a small value in radios. nF (nano farad) nomenclature wasn't used in old radios, and even today seems to be a European style.

:The schematic also shows capacitors with just the number 10 or 100 with no voltages shown. This is an auto radio Lincoln 5BH. I need to know more about what the 10 or 100 means and voltages? Thanks
1 uF = 10^6 uuF.
uuF = pF. uuF is no longer used - pF is now preferred terminology.

:The schematic instructions say micro micro farads at 200 VOLTS. But tell me how I read micro micro farads using a decimal or whatever. Thanks, Doug.

:uF = 10^-6 F (one millionth of a F). uuF = 10^-6 uF (one millionth of a uF).
