[sdiy] capacitor value naming convention

[Paul Schreiber]

Not a fraction :)

It's for electrolytic caps: value/voltage

1/50 means 1uf, 50V

  I'm toying with the idea of building a 303 filter and it looks like they're using a convention I've never seen before for cap values.  They look like fractions; 1/50, 10/16, etc.
  could somebody clear this up for me please?

  Also I'd really appreciate it if anybody could recommend transistors to use in place of the 2sc1583, the 2sc2291, and the unmarked ones, as well as what type of capacitors to use.

  Here's a link to the schematic:

  Thanks in advance!
