5 dot mica color code
#1

I'm currently working on a General Electric L542
http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/160/M0008160.htm

Two capacitors , C14 & C16, are square and have a 5 dot color code. The top row is 3 dots and the bottom row is 2 dots slightly offset so as to fall below the spaces between the dots in the top row. Both look factory installed  but their color code makes no sense to me. It might be an undocumented change in a production run. I would like to decipher these so I can document the values.

Top row colors are; yellow, brown, black; bottom row brown, red. Parts list calls for 330pF.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.
