How to find large capacitor values printed alphanumerically?

Question

What's the value for 0.47K100 value printed on a capacitor.

Answer 1

Yeap. 470pF 100V Must be a disc cap, eh? Little yellow bugger?

Answer 2

Well, without seeing it for myself, this is just a very educated guess (based on experience, though):

470 pF 100 WVDC

I must admit I have never seen a decimal point used with a 'K', before. I have seen markings like this on precision resistors, not capacitors. Precision resistors come in (rectangular radial) packages that can look like some caps.

Check it with an Ohmmeter for 'continuity'. If it comes up with a steady resistance, then it is a resistor not a capacitor.
