Hi,

I have a circuit board from an old Rocco jukebox which needs a capacitor replaced. Usually I don't bother changing components and would just buy a new circuit board however this thing is 30-40 years old and near impossible to buy spares.

From the picture can anyone tell me what specification of Capacitor I need (ie. pF/uF and Voltage)

This is written on the Capacitor in case you cannot make it out.

RMO
001 K (may be .001)
Z5F

Thanks in advance.

looks like a 1nF ceramic, used as a power supply bypass (which isn't what it sounds like - what it typically does it ground out any high-frequency crap on the power lines right where they enter the IC, so that the IC sees only a nice stable DC power supply)

just about any 1nF / 50V capacitor would work. eBay, or PM me your address and if I have some kicking around I can mail you a few.
