Yep, stamping the value on the capacitor would undoubtedly add value to

us when it set up its stock system.


I was thinking of the value it would have to the tech, in helping him
to make sure that the part he was looking at on the schematic and the
part that he was replacing in the circuit were the same item.

If he has to trace the item from the schematic (C437) to the parts
list (M390009/xxxx) to the chassis (M390009/xxxx) that's an extra step
where time is wasted and a mistake could be made. Both would be
counterproductive, in any environment.
