Tracing Fuzzrocious Oh See Demon

[Senor Avocado]

Hey guys, I was in the process of tracing a friend's Fuzzrocious Oh See Demon, and I had a quick question. I understand that it is a OCD variation so I have been looking at OCD schematics to help out with the trace, but I am wondering what is the best way to figure out the values for the polyester film box capacitors with out desoldering them from the circuit? I am excited to share my finding with you all when I finish (or fail lol) Thanks!

They are usually stamped with a number like 104j100 or similar.

104 being the value of 100000pf (100n\0.1uf)
The letter is tolerance (in this case J means a 5% tolerance)
Last digits are voltage (in thise case 100v)

Post a picture or type up the codes and we can figure it out :)

Thanks for the quick response! that makes a lot of sense! My wife has the good camera at home so hopefully in the next couple of days I will have some time to take some good pictures of the top and the bottom of the board. I will keep you all in the loop!

Any luck on this? I'm interested to see if someone finally did it?
