Hey there,
I finally got the boards out of my sonic 6 for repair, I've been 
having troubles with the audio going through the filters.
So anyways, I've had a little scope, and I believe that some of these 
funky lookin' caps are busted (i think you guys called em' gumdrops 
or something), I think they are busted as about three have some nasty 
cracks through them (one is cracked nearly right through, and one has 
a big chip missing from it. Well anyways, I think they need replacing 
but I'm not sure what their values are, or what i should replace them 
with.
These are the color bands on the ones i'm a bit suspect about 
(reading from the top to bottom)

Cap 1
Brown-Black-Yellow-White-Red

Cap 2 (only 3 color bands)
Green-Blue-Brown

So, What should these babes be replaced with...Polystyrene? 
Does anyone have a web address handy with information on reading 
color codes of these capacitors, in case i need to replace another.

Thanks 4 your help
