Hi all.
A friend asked me to help remove the mains hum from an old 60's or 70's portable record player.
The brand is Motoplay, which is an obscure Brazilain brand.
Anyway. One of the caps seemingly decided to launch itself into outer space and exploded in the process.
It appears to have been a ceramic disc with coloured stripes, and from the bits I could find and see, it appeared to be either violet or silver on top, followed by some brown, then some orange.
It definitely had silver, brown orange going down, but the brown could have been the overall capacitor colour and the that the orange and silver had some space between them.
It just doesn't fit into what I know regarding capacitor colour coding.
So the question is, does anyone have any idea as to how to identify it's value?
