Default Cap ID & value?

Trying to determine type of caps these three are so as to find replacements.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the case that the identical type (ie, tantalum, etc.) is not available
locally, what type can I use to replace these? I have this selection to
choose from at my local electronics shop:
- monolythic ceramic
- ceramic Disc
- dipped tantalum
and a limited selection of:
- dipped silver mica (metallized polyester film)
- mylar (metallized polyester)

If these are inappropriate as replacements, I'll order the appropriate ones,
but would like to get this fixed today.

These caps are used on a car alarm PCB (not in the RF stage).

(All of these caps are "tubular" in shape; no vertical height, per se.)

I have the color codes and can figure out the values, but what type of cap is
this? A fourth type is similar to this type, but has a pink background.

Thanks,


I can't get to the urls you posted (I get a yahoo forbidden,
even when I avoid the line wrap). In all probability the type
is non-critical. You could probably use anything in a plastic
film or ceramic of the right value, but choose whatever you
can get with the highest temperature rating. In a car, things
can get hot.
