[sdiy] Littleman capacitors

[Theo]

The larger values with a + at one side of the cap are Electrolytic caps, for
short Elcos.
Best use normal elcos _not_ Tantalum elcos.
(Ceramic) Multi-layer caps are good for decoupling the power lines at the
ICs.
For very small values like 33pF you can use (normal) ceramic caps.

With all values you may use polyester types, for example MKT.
But in consumer electronics cheaper multi-layers are often used instead,
so you should be able to do the same.
