How many uF this axial capacitor?
(1/4) > >>

Maybe it looks stupid but....

Is that white axial capacitor 1uF (2nd photo) ? I am not sure if I can decode the markings of this like 1/10 and 1.70MKP

Also the small smd in the 1st image, just beside the IC is also a capacitor; I get continuity on this part.
GreggD:
Looks like 1.7uF. It is large enough to be that.

Continuity, Some where else there is a resistor across the cap or some continuity through an IC

Google it first... https://www.tedss.com/2020043114 suggests you have a 0.1uF 250VAC  metalised polypropylene capacitor.

I measure 300nF and 0.85 ESR

So it seems impossible to have more capacity than originally had. Maybe it's an 1μF instead with 10% tolerance?
frozenfrogz:
1 µF, 10 % tolerance should be correct.
1.70MKP is the part series.
AV marking was from Arcotronics that are now owned by KEMET.

Edit for reference:
0.1 uF 10 % would be marked .1/10
0.33 uF 5 % -> .33/5
etc.
