    I was looking at the build guide for the RTO to make certain what parts I have/order. The capacitor 510 specifically. I have not been able to figure this component out. Please anyone?

     

    Thanks in advance

    510 is the code for a 51pf capacitor

    The first 2 digits are significant numbers the 3rd digit the number of zeros so 51 with no zeros

    Wouldn’t that be 510pf or 51n?

    For future reference, and just to confirm along the way, I’ve found this code calculator invaluable:
