Nope, I believe it's a filter cap.I see tons of these advertised as such. I 
made the same mistake with radio shack caps(DON'T TRUST RADIO SHACK 
EMPLOYEES! THEY DON"T HAVE A CLUE!).
Milli to micro -- Milli *1000
micro to nano -- micro* 1000
nano to pico -- nano*1000

pico to micro -- pico/1000000 ( 1000^2)

see a pattern

Testing outlets with my finger in N.J.

could that capacitor(in series obviously) handle the stresses of primary
tank capacitor duties? Also, can some1 point me to reference so I can
convert uf to nf, pf and uf, and so on? I know 10^-9 is nano and 10^-6 is
micro but that doesnt mean much to a mid class geometry student.
