More likely 106K = 10 000 000 pF or 0.01uF
and .........685K = 68 000 00 pF or 0.0068uF
Both look about 250V DC
So if both were in parallel then 7.8mfd is the total value? Just making sure!
It makes sense based on what is sounds like in my circuit, giving a 2.7khz crossover point first order butterworth.

0.01uF + 0.0068uF in parallel is 16.8nF.
Most likely 10µF and 6.8µF/250V, the only unknown is the dielectric.
Probably mylar or polypropylene, but anyway for a Xover it makes very little difference.
They look physically too small to be 10uF/250V.
As already mentioned - why not measure them on a DMM with Capacitive scale.
If they are part of a loudspeaker crossover then the 0.01uF and 0.0068uF would be too small.

Although on one of the capacitors the marking is indistinct, let’s assume that they are marked
106K
ME250
and
685K
ME250
This makes the first one 10µF
The K suffix indicates 10% tolerance
And it should be safe to assume 250v DC working.
Likewise the second sample is 6.8µF, 10%, 250v
I think the dimensions look about right for these values.
The dielectric is not known, but my guess would be polypropylene or polyester film.
I do not recognise the manufacturer’s logo to the right of the value code.
ME probably is the series type allocated by this manufacturer.

Need help to indetifiy capacitor
Didn't want to open new thread just to ask if anyone knows what kind (value) of cap is this .15K 400 H20?
I was searching and the closes match i found is this 155MWR400K | MWR Series 400 V 1.5 uF ±10 % Axial Metallized Polyester Film Capacitor | ILLINOIS CAPACITOR - Future Electronics
But not sure if that is right. Thanks for help!

That was fast, thanks a lotIt is 0,15μF. When they say thousands, they mean thousands of picofarads
That's somehow odd to use K instead of pF, or just write 0,15uf
