I guess that explains why I've seen 30 different answers )

Thanks for the quick response. Guess I gotta score a C meter.

Thanks again

I spent the morning parusing google groups, and found many different
answers
for the same question.

What I'm trying to understand is; on a disk capacitor that is labeled
560,
common sense would tell me 56pf instead of 560pf since 561 on a cap
would
be
560pf.

Many have asked, but no one ever gave a definate answer. Can anyone give
me
a definate answer on this?

Thanks for the assistance

I have capacitors marked "330" that are 33pF, and capacitors marked "330"
that are 330pF. If it's xx1, xx2, etc., then you can trust it, but if
it's
xx0 and you don't know that manufacturer's numbering scheme then you
should
measure it!
