There should be other markings on the caps. Please list them, if they are there, no matter what they may be.

How would you discribe the overall demensions of these capacitors?

Coke can size, or bigger? If they are smaller and thinner than a pencil. You cannot use them for stereo applications in which it would be used to *stiffen / regulate* the voltage.

Based on the size you have given that could be anything from a 1 fard to a 1.5 fard capacitor.

Please note that you cannot wire a capacitor in series to obtain a higher level. You would want to wire them in parallel to increase there overall capacity.

Please remember to charge the caps with a charging resistor, prior to installing them into your audio system.

The only fault you will see, in not doing so will be a big spark, and the nice gold finish of your equipment will be scuffed / burnt off.

The Cap in question that you have sounds like an Electrolytic Capacitor (1900-350DC) that's 1900 UF @ 350 volts DC. This is not a storage Capacitor . Do Not use it as such, it will explode. If you need a storage cap go out and buy the correct one, Play it safe. for you and your projects. If your looking for something to use as filter Cap for a certain frequency try a non polar cap. I hope this helps

Thx
