lol @ rat piss!  I wouldn't doubt it.   The amp was sitting in a storage shed with FL. humidity (ewwf) for the last few years.  I'm surprised it works at all.   The only issue was the clean channel was at a fixed volume and turning that pot did nothing.    Also, Good call on the date code.  That seems probable.

@ phil - I'm sure this won't be the last time I'm tripped up, but very thankful that I have one extra bit of knowledge in the ol' brain case.  I was curious about the uF, nF, pF stuff. Thx for clarifying :]


EDIT: 

I found some but it seems I need to know the voltage and tolerance??

Would that^, for example, be a suitable replacement?

You guys are awesome!!!   :dbtu:  Now it's all coming together - Googling '1nF axial lead capacitor'  is finally giving me some usable results.  So are the markings in the 3'rd photo (KHJ 735) just a manufacturer's catalog/part number or something? 

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!   

I went to replace a bad volume pot on a Peavey combo amp and noticed this little guy near it (see pics) was ugly and corroded.   I wanted, for the heck of it, to replace it along with the pot, but I have no idea what I'm shopping for.  I'm guessing it's a little capacitor of some sort;
