UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum - View Single Post - Any suggestions as to what type of capacitor this is?

Shouldn't this be in the 'components' section?

I am pretty sure it is ceramic, I've used similar capacitors for decoupling on PCBs full of digital ICs.

What is the code? Is '104' an obvious part of it? '104' would be read like a resistor colour code but in picofarads -- that is 10*10^4 picofarads, so 0.1uF
