[GreenKeys] OT: Non-TTY Cap Identification

[Jim Haynes]

Me too.  I faintly remember that brand.  The one that you can just see
the end of the cap in the picture, reddish-brown, looks like the positive
terminal of a polarized cap.  But look at the other end, not visible in
the picture and see if it is a wire going to the aluminum can, or if
there is another reddish-brown insulator.

You can always check with a voltmeter whether there is AC or DC present
across the cap.
