Hi jeyurkon, My parts list is shown in entry #28, page 2 of this thread (can't show it again here). It's cap #66. If the parts list is tells me what kind of cap it is I'm missing it. The back side has two dot circles but no color. Stamped into the cap is says what looks like "c100". I do see in the listing for the Aerovox part no. listing that the part number starts with "SI" if that means anything and that some others in that list start with "P".

From Phil's website:

"Note that two of these types—mica capacitors and flat molded paper capacitors—look similar. Both are flat, often with color coding dots to indicate the value. It is easy to tell them apart by checking the value. Mica capacitors have very small values, typically under .001 mfd. The values of molded paper capacitors will be larger, similar to other paper capacitors, such as .01 or .02 mfd."

refering to my parts list again on page 2, the first page under the "CAPACITORS" heading it says "Capacity values given in the ratings column are in mfd. for Electrolytic and Paper Capacitors, and in mmfd. for mica and ceramic capacitors."

When I read "1500" in the "cap. rating" columm I'm not sure if that's mfd. or mmfd.
