Confused by capacitor value marking

[cocobolo95]

I have been looking at a pcb schematic for a marantz 7 clone. I have come across values on 4 electrolytic caps that I can't decipher. These caps are listed as 1wu.

All the rest of the caps on the schematic conform to units that are familiar to me. Such as 33u, 6.8n, or 100p.

So can anyone here tell me what a "wu" marking means in the value scheme. Thanks.

wu--who

Thanks for the laugh, avionic.

I've seen wu before...but don't remember the explanation...

Edit: It might be an older way of marking? I can't remember.

It is a combination of dyslexic typing - missed keys and getting things backwards: Wu = uF. Post a schematic to confirm.

Cheers,

David

I was thinking "WV" for working voltage, but the value made no sense.
