Just to clarify, though, 1500pF (picofarads) (called 1500mmF back then, micro-microfarads) is the same value as .0015 uF (microfarads). A value of .00015, though never written that way, would equal 150pF or 150mmF. The way I memorized these translations is that I remember there are six digits between a microfarad and a picofarad (or mmF). So, 001500 in this case. 1500 mmF or .0015 uF.
