That's the right type. Most popular one used in older TV's. 500 pf or 500 mmf @ 20,000 volts.

:::::Hi Chip
:::::
::::: Those are door knob caps used to filter high voltage for TV CRT's. They came in 500pf @ 10,000 and 20,000 volts.
:::::
::::: Although seldom bad you could bring a TV up without one of these caps. If you have a more modern CRT it will have the cap built in between outside and inside of the glass.

:::::::::I am restoring a set the has these bumble bee caps , and so far I cannot find anyone who has replacements. any suggestions where I can find some. thanks
:::::::::
::::::::What kind of set are you restoring that has 10,000 volt caps? I have hundreds of caps, but I don't believe I have any in that volt range...let me know.
::::::::
:::::::Chip, what are the color bands? Maybe that is why you can't find them...sometimes those colors fade somewhat...
:::
:::
:::
:::
:::
:::::::
::::::CORRECTION: I had to many zeros, the correct number is .0005/10,000v. and it is used in a tv receiver.also there are no color bands on the old caps thanks
::::::
:::::
:::
:::::
::::Well Chip that clears up some for me as well. Sorry, went through alot of caps, cannot find the size you need. If I had them, I would send for free...Good luck with the TV.

::Er, Edd:
::About the capacitor in the center row, extreme left. Wouldn't the working Voltage of that one be closer to nine Volts?
::Lewis

:Chip,
:for reference, mine looks just the one below the blue one. Numbers are as follows, 500MMF, 20X VDC, 1340, 923G15 or 6, Made in the good old USA...Let me know if I am on the right track. I will never use it anyway...
