[Boatanchors] How do I read these capacitors

[Philip Atchley]

Hi all,

I've decided to go ahead and replace the paper caps and any out of tolerance
resistors in the Superior (??) TV-50A Genometer, and "reform" the 'lytics if
they will.  (May replace them later when I have them).

Anyway, I'm perfectly able to "read" the color dots on old Micamolds etc, but
have run across two capacitors that I'm unsure of.  I can't find any
information in my "old" books on reading these either.  They are square,
brown, "mica like" capacitors with no color codes or values, they have the
following written on them.  I've tried measuring them but the DMM just
"blinks" and continuously "ranges", which on that test instrument indicates a
problem in the capacitor (leaky or power factor etc)

CN43AE503M  (Guess .05uF?)
CM40B822K   (Guess .0082 uF?)
