[sdiy] What are they?

[dj hohum]

I find this site helpful

http://my.execpc.com/~endlr/markings.html

I also have something similar to this which I use for unmarked and
variable caps as well as inductors.

But, you don't see a lot of inductors and small value caps in synth
circuits so you might find something like this sufficient.

hope this helps,
Daryl
