(A dearth of DIY content today, folks. In an effort to post something
topical...)
I just finished ordering the parts to build my Sound Lab Mini-Synth:

Rude66 is starting to build one, also, so one of us should be able to
provide a review fairly soon. Anyway...
Somewhere along the way, the part specified as a 1uF NPO cap lost the "NPO."
That is to say that Ray Wilson changed it on the parts list. I'm not sure
why (yeah, I could ask Ray), but no matter.
Question is this: I see this written as NPO and NP0. Is it supposed to be
the letter 'O' or the digit zero? C0G (cee zero gee) is yet another way of
writing the same thing, apparently.
And I originally thought that it just meant Non-POlarized. Oops! :-/
