Why would it be polarized? People too often think there is some special reason...

I might guess that it is 47 pF (4, 7, and no zeros) - but I might vary my guess based on the size of the capacitor.
As another poster suggests, 4R7 suggests a 4.7 ohm resistor.
235 doesn't seem to be a value - "23" isn't a standard value, but "22" is - 225 would be 2.2 uF
You will only rarely see capacitors or resistors with values specified to three digits.

That's an odd value, 235uF...not impossible, though.
How is it shaped? 4R7 means a 4.7 ohm resistor, usually.

They are both a sort of gold/orange. Both are small perhaps a little smaller than a grain of rice. The 4R7 is a little more square than the 470. Perhaps I will try putting the one that you both think is a resister on the ohm meter and see if it reads the right amount. The reason I thought they were capacitors was that they look like the same kind of packageing and color as other capacitors I have.
