OK, DUST OFF YOUR KEYBOARDS, HERE COME THE QUESTIONS

[Bill Coleman N2BC]

A quick comment on Joe's post below.   Joe you are correct in your
description of the paper cap banded end indicating the lead connected to the
outermost layer. But I would say the this is the side that is gournded IF
one side of the cap is to be grounded....

The band indicates which terminal is connected to the outermost plate of the
capacitor.  This side is
always connected to ground for safety and, I would think, to minimize hum
pickup and such.
