In reply to beh.

4700pf +-10% 250volt
Third band red is the multiplier = x100

HI Nazari,

The best is to use digital capacitance meter (for non polar) and BLue ESR meter ( for electrolytic capacitor). Multimeter is not accurate in checking capacitors.

Hi Jestine,

Yes I have seen it but can remember when in the 70s or 80s, anyway thanks for the reminder of these colored capacitors that can't be seen nowadays

HI Beh,

If you count like a resistor then you will get 4700pf which is also 4.7nf 10% 250 volt.
