[ARC5] Mystery Component Color Codes

[J Mcvey]

 .25 inch by an eighth would not be a 50000pf back in that era. They might be 25 to 100 pf or somewhere in the low PF range.Do you have a DMM with a capacitor tester? they are not all that arrurate, but will put you in the ballpark of the actual value..If you have a bunch of caps to test , you can buy a cheap cap tester for $12 or so on Ebay..Once you get the real value , you might be able to reverse engineer the color code lost to time.

 "What is the function of the cap in question?"

Have no idea.  I inherited a jar of them.  They are about 0.25 in long and 1/8 inch in diameter.
