I am doing the classic fuzz build and am missing 104/.1uf film capacitor BUT I have an extra part that is not on the part list and am wondering if it can be used as a substitute - white rectangular capacitor labeled .1J100

Was this possibly included as a substitute part or should I order the missing capacitor?

(Apologies for the very basic question, first time build!)

Thanks!
DD

That sounds like a .1uF cap to me, but I'm not sure I've ever seen one with those exact markings before. A photo might help (or someone else may confirm it based on your description).

I assume if you had a multimeter, you would have tested it already. But on the off chance that you have one and didn't know it can measure capacitance… it can. :mrgreen: In that case, let us know, and we can help you learn how to do it.

Google says it’s a NOS .1uf. It has mojo.

Added pictures for reference.

Edit: After further reading it does appear that they could be interchangeable. Can anyone confirm?

They are both .1uf
The J implies there is a variance of 5% on the white capacitor (I think)
