Can someone please tell me the value of this capacitor. I'm guessing a 47uF or 4.7uF or 0.47uF??? ;-) I'm not a whiz at this. Searched the internet for help but I haven't found anything beneficial in my goal: how to determine the markings on these caps. Some were helpful but none that looks like this 40+ year old capacitor (C10 on IBM 5150 motherboard). I used an ESR meter on all of the Tantalums on this board and they all give a within range (not too high) ESR value except this one cap doesn't give either a high or low ESR either in circuit or not. Does this mean the capacitor is bad? My uneducated guess is it's bad. Can anyone help with this and recommend a good link so I can educate myself on these capacitors and how to ID them?
