Been putting this off a long time as I hate installing these. I'm not even sure the proper term as I've seen them called half a dozen things.

Bought a cap kit for my Compact XVI and nothing is labeled.

The manufacturer labels on top of these three sets of caps are all Greek to me.

One of these should be 0.47uf, I know that much. The other two I'm not sure about.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks @brizzo. That means I got sent the wrong number of a couple of these :/

That's the chart I'm using.

Looks like console5 must have sent me incorrect amounts of these three if they're as you guys guessed... Again.

Try to measure them with a capacity meter.

I'll try that. Bought one but have never used it yet. Ha.

Also, C32 is missing off of that list unfortunately. The cap right behind the four ribbon cables.

Edit: meter does not go down to 0.47 :/
 
@brizzo Spot on.

I uh, forgot I had this little meter until @caius mentioned it. :/

Caps figured out! Though the cap list is still missing C32 so I'll have to figure that out.
