I've been getting a headache combing the interwebz for help reading these values.
1) 472K is this: 4700pF ? What does the K mean?
2) What does the Y5P mean?
3) It's 1000 volts but, is this AC or DC?

Help Reading Capacitor Values
This ceramic disc cap is in my 1982 Randall RG80. It's the first component that volume knob hits.

Re: Help Reading Capacitor Values
OK.... worked it out...
1) It is 4700pF
K = +/-10% tolerence
2) Y5P is the Temperature Coefficient = -25 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius - THANKS MORT!!!!
3) It's definitely 1000 volts DC

Re: Help Reading Capacitor Values
It's the temp coefficient. I didn't already know that
