Pack of capacitors (to the EXTREME!)

Post by Klefmung »

Well, I got a pack of capacitors. The ratings aren't marked. How do I find out the ratings? Multimeter? What? They aren't marked on the package, cap itself, anything. There have to be a million of them, though.

The bigger ones will have a number and "IJ." The smaller ones that cannot fit "IJ" on them have Either a number or some random thing underlined. The bigger ones also say "KCK" under that.
