Hello all,

you may (or may not) know that Nokia (the mobile phone brand, 38% of
sale shares) is a finnish company, not japanese, norwegian or whatever.
Nokia took its name from a finnish city named Nokia itself (what a
fantasy). Now, there is a company making capacitors located in Nokia as
well, and its name is "Nokian Capacitors", of course.

They are on the web at:

http://www.nokiancapacitors.fi/english/index.html

I have seen some white case caps on their product pages. You can have a
look yourself, if you find something similar to what you have recently
acquired. I guess its some of their capacitors what you have got.

Regards
