[sdiy] Coloured Stripe Polyester Capacitor Values-

[Trevor Page]

Shocking, Ken. A professional synth manufacturer who doesn't know his
colour code?

Google + "Capacitor colour code" reveals hundreds of useful sites,
including:

Hi list!- I've got some old organ pcbs with lots of polyester film caps
that have coloured stripes to designate their values- I'm assuming that
to read them, I read them like resistor colour codes- is this correct?
Also, does anyone or can anyone point me to any web info concerning
this- I've tried, but cannot find! 
Hoping everyone is well, regards, Ken
