Hi,
I'm still working on the ART-4 transmitter and want to put values on the
schematic. The unit has about a half dozen 'postage stamp' mica caps.
They are all marked like 'Type 5' on thos page:
http://www.radioremembered.org/capcode.htm
and have 6 color dots.
Reading in the correct order, clockwise starting at the top left, the dots
are:
Black
Green
Brown
Black
Yellow
Red
See the issue? The value SEEMS to be 051 pF; 400 VDC, 2%
Question: Was it ever convention to use a leading zero in color codes for
this type of cap? I've never seen it before.
Thanks,
-John
