HP 400D Tantalum Capacitors?
KK7DTE:
I'm not finding tantalum capacitors listed in the HP 400D VTVM service manual, but I have two in mine and I have seen two others online with the same capacitors. How do I find their values? They are heavily corroded. Maybe there are other schematics or parts lists I'm not seeing? This unit's serial number is 28830. Picture below:

And what is it connected too? I can't tell from the picture.

Looks more like a diode to me...

Guessing it's these unlabelled parts on the layout drawing?
They seem to be C20 & C31 in the earlier book here; https://www.kennethkuhn.com/hpmuseum/scans/hp400d_h.pdf
C20 is 8uF 30V part #18-17 (aka 0180-0010 tantalum)

C31 is 4uF 60V part #18-15 (aka 0180-0008)

Apparently they are an early form of tantalum capacitor made by Fansteel, attached is an advert from 1956.
