Need Japanese translation !! (capacitors)

I e-mailed Mom your photo, and she said that the translation is:

(red) 2.0uF (the thing that looks like "T" and an upside down "U") (yellow) 1.0uF (The double-crossed "T", the "T" with the tilted top, and the box) (white) C (diagonal line with the quote marks, the funny- looking "A") 250 VWAC 1969 Hitachi (trademark symbol)

She asked if it was a motor capacitor and if "C" meant "common" or ground. She also expressed disappointment when she realized my message wasn't about me finally learning Japanese.

Well, I reckon we should all be pretty pleased with ourselves on this one. That definitive answer pretty much confirms what we managed to work out. Now where's the OP gone in all this ? Don't seem to have heard from him at all since his first post ...

Hmm, I'm just trying to imagine the same scenario from a Japanese perspective, ie a bunch of Japanese speakers trying to decipher some English hieroglyphics. ;-) ____ ____ ____ | | | | \ |___| |--- | | | \ |___ |___/

Johnny (and everybody);

Thanks so much for your help. I sure enjoyed reading the postings on this one ! As it turns out, this morning I found a guy here locally that has a few similar vintage caps used, but appearantly in good enough shape to let me meter the values off and identify the beast. My findings concurr with Johnny's.

I wrote the designations in on the cap in the photo for all to see.

So this should end the mystery once and for all.

Thanks again, Spark

Thanks so much for your help. I can't believe all the postings.

As it turns out, I found a guy here in town this morning that had simialr vintage caps in a junk box, but they appearantly were in good enough shape to let me meter out the values. I wish I had seen Johnny's post earlier. My finding completely concurr with his (and mom's)....

I touched up the photo and typed the values in on the picture.

I think this is solved once and for all. Thanks again. Spark
