Obviously posting html code doesn't work... this is the link to the
full size image of the capacitors:

The caps that you have posted pictures of, all have their values marked in
standard nomenclature - that is digit one, digit 2, multiplier, for a value
expressed in pF. So, the first one marked "154" is 150,000pF or 0.15uF. The
second one is 100,000pF or 0.1uF and so on, down to the last one which is
100pF ie "1", "0" and then 1 zero.

The same system applies to striped caps. The standard resistor colour code
is used from the top down. So a cap marked yellow purple yellow is 470,000pF
or 0.47uF. The remaining stripes are tolerance and voltage working. Try
