Either 1uF, or the point is invisible making it 0.1?

Metal case something, or regular aluminum electrolytic? If it's not
aluminum then probably dry tantalum.

I'd like to join the consensus saying "1" - maybe a hard to read point,
and offer the opinion that "K" could be a tolerance code.

No hard to read point. I checked with good magnification.

K as a tolerance code agrees with some stuff I've found on line.

But here's the acid test: The circuit works with a 1uF cap. So this means 1K
is either 1E3 nF or 1uF and the K is tolerance (10%). Either interpretation
would suggest that electrolytics (or polarized caps) use a different base
value than ceramics and others (which use 1 pF).

Aren't standards great? That's why we have so many.
