Default CAPACITOR QUESTION

Wow you folks really have me confused now. The original board and capacitor
was made in early 1970 and are clearly marked nichion 470mfd35v. Now I went
to several electronic suppliers and cannot find a 470mfd35v(millifarad) in
a aluminum axial type capacitor which make me wonder now is it a microfarad
marked mfd according to older standards or not. Man am I confused.

One is 470 microfarads will the other is 470 MILLIfarads...


I doubt that. The m is often misused to indicate micro. And a 470
millifarad cap would be huge!
