Default Re: Ferrograph Reel Expert Help Please!

You are correct they are both capacitors, the silver one should be OK as it looks like a close tolerance polystyrene capacitor.

The other not sure on but you are probably right that it is a type of ceramic capacitor.

If you do a google search you will find a colour code system for capacitors the same as there was for resistors. It is often to be found on the same old sheet as the resistor code and from memory it has the body shapes on it as well.

You seem to be on the right track tracking down dud components and replacing them.

I just did a quick search and this is what I came up with:https://www.google.co.uk/search?clie...w=1517&bih=731
