What capacitor is this?

[Kinksi]

I have an old supro guitar from 1958.

I am trying to identify the capacitor. Its a long brown tube covered in wax and wired to the pots. This is the capacitor, right?

The brand is "Industrial Condenser Corporation."

The only numbers I can see on it are this:

.05 MFD
200 V.D.C

What does this mean?


Thanks!

That's the capacitance value and voltage rating.

MFD is the old way of writing microfarad if I recall. It's now written as uF, but the u has a tail on the leading edge, kinda like a backwards small upper case u...

So you have a .05 microfarad capacitor that's rated for 200 volts DC input.
