Electrolytic? Tantalum?

Manufacturer? Data sheet?

Siemens. At least from the trademark.
Possibly 1 UF at 40 VDC

Jeff

Type?

Nice photo. Dimensions would have been helpful.

My guess(tm) is Tantalum. It's not ceramic as it appears to be
polarized. It's not metalized film, for the same reason. It's too
small for electrolytic. That leaves tantalum.

Siemens sold their cazapitor division to EPCOS:

I couldn't find anything on the site resembling that capacitor.

I recall using similarly packaged caps back in the 1970's from Kemet.
I couldn't find any Epoxy B packaged tantalums on the Kemet site, but
there are similar packages with what looks like the right lead
spacing. See:
http://www.kemet.com/kemet/web/homepage/kechome.nsf/weben/014FB383A945D0938525751600535A31/$file/F3296_ProductSelection.pdf#page=3
and look for "Tantalum Molded Radial" on Page 7. If you have a
Digikey or Mouser printed catalog, you might want to skim through the
pages and see if there's something similar. I'm too lazy to do it
right now.
