I recovered a few capacitors of this style from an old cassette player. As far as I can tell, it seems like Mylar film, but the “100⊖” marking has me wondering. Is this some peculiar shaped tantalum capacitor, or is the indicator not a polarity marking?

My guess would be 10 nF mylar (first 2 digits = 10, third = multiplier 10^3 pF) 100 V. J = 5 %. I reckon that 10 nF is too small for a tantalum so I don't think this is polarized.

    Me, too. I have no clue what the dingus is after the 100 - maybe a really little logo? But it's the right size and shape to be a mylar cap with that value. – TimWescott Nov 13 '18 at 01:10
