Caps

[Harry Bissell]

NOTE: in the COLONIES (hehheh) MICRO farads are sometimes listed MF, or MFD...
 Its microfarad... better to use  uF.  Back in those days we only had MFD (micro)
or PF
(Pico)... Nano hadn't been invented yet.  I STILL have to write down nF values on
paper and move the decimal One... Two... Three places Ahhhh.... MicroFarads (or
pico..)

BTW the higher voltage caps are always OK... If you are using tantalum you will
probably go with 16V  (but if you use 15V supplies PLEASE PLEASE use at least 25V)

Lytics... hey "smoke 'em if you got 'em...."
