Hi Allison:

Trust me they are not caps, the part someone described would come into
common use about 5-8 years later! To tell if they are diodes an
ohmeter(VOM) and check for resistance one way and open circuit the other.
No resistance in either direction is a cap!
I spoke with a fellow who has a print set for the board, he indicated that
there are no diodes on the board at all. There are, however, quite a few
bypass caps shown on the schematic. My glass devices are all in parallel,
each associated to a particular, IC, and are grounded on the other lead.
I will have to remove an intact one to check resistance and determine what
they are.
Thanks for the reply,
Kevin
