Mystery Capacitor

[GuitarMadCap]

Is there a way to tell what type of capacitor this is by its markings?

 

[somebodyelseuk]

Yes.

I used to have a link to a page that explained what the numbers mean... you'll have to Google it - 'capacitor codes' or something like that.

I‘m pretty sure it’s a Fender 1uF cap for a treble bleed.

I didn't want to commit to it, but I did think it might be a 0.1uF cap... wouldn't bet my coffee on it, though.

The critical part of the number is '104', which means, 10 with 4 zeros behind it in pf. That is 100,000pf, which translates into 100nf, or 0.1uf.
