Re: Can anybody ID these caps?

On the other hand, N4700 could be the temperature coefficient, and 701 could
be the capacitance, 700 somethings (pF?).  What is the physical size... My
4700 pF doorknobs are cylinders about 2" in diameter and 2" long, with a
10-32 female screw thread in the middle of the flat sides.  Ceramite doesn't
currently make a 40 kV, 4700 pF unit, but that's not to say that they didn't
some time in the past.
