Hey there,

I started soldering my Chorus kit and after assembling all the capacitors i'm left with just one last which by the instructions called "1 - 0.1μ/100n film (104)".
The one problem is that the last capacitor left says "μ1j250 1A7"

I've wanted to ask if it's the right capacitor even though it says different.

Thank you very much!

the mu is being used as a decimal point there. so u1 = 0.1uF the j250 is for tolerance and voltage rating, and the other gobbledygook is a manufacturing code of some kind, like a batch or date code. So yes, that's the right cap.
