    I think the yellow blocks in the middle photo of your last post are Tanti's.
    They are worth money.
    They are marked on the positive termanil, which is unusual with capacators.
    They are also can shaped, positive termanil marked again, and the 'paint drop' shape.
    You will find the paint drops in car electronics mostly.



    There's black block tantis that look like the yellow ones you have above, marked on the positive pole.
    Now heres a clue, look on the board, you will see numbers beside each componant.
    If its a capactor, it'll have a 'C' followed by a number.
    The C means its a capactor, the number is for which capactor it is.

    Now there's also diodes that look like the black block capactor, beside them there's a 'D' for diode, followed by its number.
    I don't know all the letter codes except that the black or white blocks with 4 termanils are 'optocouplers' there's a LED in one end and a photoresistor in the other.
    Its a way of sending electrical info around the board without letting actual power go from one part of the board to another. It protects some parts from electrical spikes and such.
    There's also bridge rectafiers that look the same, different code, they change AC power into DC power.
    The optocouplers have a gold wire on the LED, all LEDs have that gold wire too.

    The brown blocks, marked on the board with a C and the number, have Silver and Platinum in the ends. Dunno how much though. They are capactors too.
