[Hallicrafters] reading caps...

[Jim Tripp]

I have noticed that as capacitors age they take on a darker, sometimes
a browner color to the dots, etc. So what starts out as white may end
up looking like brown or orange.

Here is a code sheet if anyone needs one.

I have a chart showing how to read the caps (mica?) with the dots.  It
shows them with a white dot always in the corner.  Unfortunately I
have caps that don't seem to follow this scheme.  A pic at:
