    Odd markings Tracon vintage capacitor

    I am restoring and recapping an old zenith radio and it is loaded with these Tracon brand capacitors. I have already replaced all the caps with actual markings on them , however I have 3 oddball caps that are marked 0/10 1/10 10/10. The only thing I could assume was 1/10=1uf 10v?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Well the best indicator of what voltage cap to use is to measure the circuit voltages that it was in. My best guess would be 1uf at 10v.

      ok so i ran the existing oddball caps through my meter and it appears that 10/10 does stand for 10uf 10v!
      one out of the 5 was within 10%. the rest were either open or waaaayyy out of spec
