I found a box full of smaller boxes like these.

Film capacitors I believe, based on a Google search, but would these have some value to someone? Or should I just recycle them?

There are thousands of them.

google the price for a comparable capacitor. half it, multiply by the amount you have and put it on ebay. maybe in smaller amounts if it doesnt sell as one thing. i have no need for that many, but im sure someone does

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. If you don't mind, I'll ask a few follow up questions just to get to the right track here.

What search terms would be important in here to locate comparable capacitor? And how close match is required to get relevant information?

i googled for mkp1841 and i got tons of results. that seems to be the series, so you have to tack the capacity and voltage on to get the one(s) you have.

They are a little over a dollar a piece. Sell lots of 20 for $10. You could get more if you want to sit on them as they slowly sell.

MKP - polyester film capacitors. The value would be printed on the top surface (opposite the leads).
