NEED HELP WITH OLD SPRAGUE CAP VALUES

[tom wu]

Hi
This may sound really dumb but I am wiring a LP with RS pots -50s style, humbuckers- and I came accross some sprague parts in the "abyss drawer".
They look like bumble bees, they are light grey, have plastic covers and in black ink they read: SPRAGUE
.022 - 400 D.C.
118P22304S4
I also have the orange drops types ; 225p100v 223K 0350 at hand
Could somebody tell me whether those spragues are the right value for a set of Timbuckers I wanna put in there, or if I need to stick to the orange ones?
Thanks in advance.

.022 at 400v that's just right. Go with the sprauges.

If those caps are really old, they may have drifted up in value. You might want to measure them with a digital Multimeter to see where they're at. Then again, the old ear test is just as valid. If they sound good to you, it doesn't matter what their value is.
