Do you know where to get the color-coding tables for these types of capacitors?

...from what i've managed to glean thus far, these are fairly high voltage/farad caps. What do you think? Do any of them look familiar?

The large ones are Sangamo, maybe Mica C-CR type?

Then there are some 'Aerovox' and 'EL-Menco'.

TIA for any input...

Just measure them - they are likely to be out of spec anyway.

My first post here in years :party:
