Hi,

I am using an Arduino as a basis for a prop I am recreating. I was hoping that someone here could help me identify a part from a photo so I can track them down online (or something very similar).

  Many thanks

Capacitor. Either polyester or polystyrene type.
Like these:

Thanks! 

I am also trying to make out what they say on them. The grey ones look like 10nK (?) Not sure about the yellow ones.

10n would be the value, 10 nanoFarads. The K is the tolerance (10%)
The other one looks like 1n3K, which should be 1.3 nanoFarads, also 10% tolerance.

Yes, my daughter is a huge fan of the show. I am building the prop EMF detector so she can go "demon hunting".
