Its two black cotton-insulated wires suggest a non-polarized capacitor rather than an electrolytic. A polarized capacitor usually has some markings to show when end is +ve: endcaps might also differ in appearance. Its large size suggests either high voltage and/or high capacitance (perhaps in the microfarad range). Perhaps paper/foil type?
Customer ServiceAging: Electrolytic capacitors have a limited lifespan (typically 20-30 years), after which they dry out or leak.; Leakage: Over time, electrolytic capacitors can leak electrolyte fluid, leading to corrosive damage inside the amplifier.; Capacity Loss: Capacitors lose their ability to hold a charge, leading to weak or distorted sound output.; Power Issues: Failing capacitors can lead
Customer ServiceMost old paper capacitors I''ve seen has been leaky, this plays havoc with the bias of the following tube. I personally would not use any of those very old electrolytics. The bumblebee capacitor is often sought after by guitar amplifier builders, you may want to sell it.
Customer ServiceIn the table in Figure 22 is indicated a marking code widely used by Japanese manufacturers and which relates not only to ceramic capacitors but also to polyester capacitors. Reading it does not present any particular difficulty, because it suffices to remember that the third digit indicates the number of zeros to be added to the first two digits to reconstitute the value
Customer ServiceNoise supression capacitor and is redundant in the modern world without AM radio, can be safely removed. Smoothing capacitor, again redundant given its not the 1950s any more. It might also be a snubber to help protect the resistor-block. Links: Example of site saying to simply cut it out. Video showing how to clean the carbon pile resister.

Customer ServiceMost of those are pretty standard old film caps (which should be ok), and some paper ones which could be leaky. Old electrolytics must first be carefully reformed, before testing for uF and ESR, and possible reuse. Some have rubber seals

Customer ServiceUnlike resistors, capacitors use a wide variety of codes to describe their characteristics. Physically small capacitors are especially difficult to read, due to the limited space available for printing. The information in this article should help you read almost all modern consumer capacitors.

Customer ServiceThe Capacitor Colour Codes system was used for many years on unpolarised polyester and mica moulded capacitors. This system of colour coding is now obsolete but there are still many "old" capacitors around. Nowadays, small
Customer ServiceCeramic capacitors typically come in a fairly flat package, with identification information printed on one side. The table below allows you to cross-reference those codes against actual (nominal) capacitance values.
Customer ServiceVoltage Rating. For the radial tantalum capacitors after the capacitance code, another two-digit code shows the maximum voltage rating of the capacitor.The unit of working voltage is always in volts(V). In the case of SMD tantalum capacitors, working voltage is marked in alphabetical codes; i.e. E, G, J, A etc.. We have provided the table of capacitor voltage

Customer ServiceAs pointed out in the Evox Rifa electrolytic capacitor application note, series capacitors act as a capacitive voltage divider, and N electrolytics connected in series with a capacitance tolerance range of Cmin to Cmax have a maximum divided voltage (at the junction of the two capacitors) Vdiv = (Vapplied * Cmax) / (Cmax + (N - 1) * Cmin). Ok, so in our example,
Customer ServiceRepairing or recapping old (circa 1970) amps and receivers, I am confused by the markings of the capacitors. The photograph shows for instance 4 types of caps found on a Pio SA-5300. 3 ELNA and one Sanyo. The big Grey ELNA has the markings "CEW (85L)" and 47 with a S in a circle. The medium grey is marked "CERB" and 53 with a U in a circle.
Customer ServiceColor codes for non-polarized mica molded and polyester capacitors like ceramic and disc capacitors are an old school method (BS-EN 60062) and hence replaced by the capacitor marking ( BS-1852 Standard) with alphanumeric codes. If you still find the old age color coded capacitor, you may identify the value of the ceramic capacitor using the following example (see fig 3(c)
Customer ServiceSome photos of the antique capacitors, they can be quite colorful. The reference below: This one looks like a 6-segment capacitor but it is in fact only a 3-segment display capacitor, and a tolerance value. They went for the cheaper marking option. Which means it''s Violet-Green-Black, 75×10 = 75 pF capacitance. The second is a bit harder to
Customer ServiceReading capacitor markings involves identifying several key attributes. The capacitance value often marked directly in microfarads (μF), nanofarads (nF), or picofarads (pF). The voltage rating indicates the maximum voltage the capacitor can handle, marked as a number followed by "V". Tolerance shown as a percentage, indicating how much the

Customer ServiceI need help identifying the capacitor that needs to be replaced. The capacitor was located in the motor of the sewing machine. It is not clear in the pictures, but it says: .01 + .0005 x 2 and 600WV.DC I also put a picture of the electric motor plate in the attachment.
Customer ServiceEach section may have a different capacity value and working voltage. These caps are almost always used for power supply filtering. Common values range from one to several hundred uF. The value, polarity, and rated working voltage should be clearly labeled on the side of the cylinder.
Customer ServiceColor codes can also be found in a variety of books such as the ARRL's Radio Amateur's Handbook. The color dot system is similar to the resistor color codes, and there are often several extra dots indicating type, tolerance, and characteristic of the capacitor.
Capacitor markings are used for identifying their values and proper usage in electronic circuits. Here's a detailed breakdown of the key aspects to consider: On smaller capacitors, you often find only the capacitance value. For larger capacitors, two main parameters are displayed: capacitance and breakdown voltage.
Read the capacitance value. Most large capacitors have a capacitance value written on the side. Slight variations are common, so look for the value that most closely matches the units above. You may need to adjust for the following: Ignore capital letters in the units. For example, "MF" is just a variation on "mf."
• Ceramic Capacitor Markings Ceramic capacitors, known for their small size, use concise markings with digits and letters to indicate capacitance values. These codes convey information in minimal space, often including a base capacitance value followed by a letter for tolerance or temperature coefficient.
To read a large capacitor, first find the capacitance value, which will be a number or a number range most commonly followed by µF, M, or FD. Then look for a tolerance value, typically listed as a percentage. Next, check the voltage rating, which is usually listed as a number followed by the letters V, VDC, VDCW, or WV.
Know the units of measurement. The base unit of capacitance is the farad (F). This value is much too large for ordinary circuits, so household capacitors are labeled with one of the following units: 1 µF, uF, or mF = 1 microfarad = 10 -6 farads. (Careful — in other contexts, mF is the official abbreviation for millifarads, or 10 -3 farads.)
