Sorry about the electronic lesson I am suffering from a bad cold and medicin has me just a little bit loopy.

Can you post a photo of them, it is possible that they are non-polarized, capacitors come in many shapes and sizes and differnt materials.

I took out one of the 22MF 50 volt radial leads and it has the uF symbol on it, did not notice any polarization charactors on the small capacitor, like a plus or minus sign.

My wife's first husband had this stuff before he died about three years ago.

sounds like some capacitors for sure but it should be uF not MF which would beMega farad which I doubt exists in electronics microfarads is uF small m is mille large M is mega, xtal is short for crystal xformer is short for tranformer.......Sign - Dots [#dots]

 

They seem to be rather high voltage capaciters, are the polarized(+ or - on one side of cap)?

They certainly seem to be capacitors.  I would just save them until a need came along.

electronic parts question for Bob Nelson
Posted by phillyreading on Monday, February 12, 2007 12:49 PM

I have some electronic parts and am wondering what they can be used for?

Radial leads; 1.0 MF at 250 volts & 85 deg. C part # RE2-250V010MP2, Radial leads 1.0 MF at 100 volts part # RE2-100V010MP5, 10 MF at 50 volts 7mm HIGH Radial leads part # RC2-50V100MBP25, Radial leads 22 MF at 50 volts part # RE2-50V220MP4.   All made by Atlantic Electronics Incorporated, WPB FL.

These parts almost look like miniture capaciters.
