The gold is the tolerance with gold being 5%, silver being 10% and nothing
being 20%. The next dot is the voltage in hundreds of volts. That is as
far as I know, haven't used this for 30 years.

Good and bad news..
I found my capacitance meter and measured the button and it's about 1500
pf.
The bad news is in my posting I transposed red and green and the correct
color sequence is: black, brown, green, red, gold, gray..
Black desigantes military, and 1500 pf by the next 3 but I still need to
know what the gold and gray designate..
Tolerance, temp coeff, and voltage but which 2 are designated and how?.
Any
tips appreciated. A spec on this cplr would be appreciated.
tnx

I've got a TMC Directional Coupler Unit Model CU 2/50 and my
"cheatsheet"
for silver button micas is not to be found. I wonder if someone has one
and
can tell me the capacitance of one that has the following six colors:
black,
brown, red, green, gold, grey. If anyone has a schematic, please let me
know.
tnx
