Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to measure it accurately as my multimeter doesn't have a capacitance setting. The one that's really tripping me up is the "1μ0M;" I'm curious what the significance is of putting the micro symbol between the numbers. On a resistor 2M2 is 2.2 meg, but that...

I have googled without finding much. I'll try Digikey.

Pick it up and jauntily swagger around your home prancing in front of a mirror all while playing "Cissy Strut" with the volume at 11.
