[sdiy] looking for 30-40uF 150V+ caps

[Paddock, Toby]

John,

I'm not really sure how slow it would be. Slower the better. I'm using 8uF
now and thought 4X slower might be sort of good. Oh yeah, real scientific
like.

Using these to "FM" a small grid of faster blinkies. The slow oscillators
are in the charging paths and when their voltage drop varies they change the
charge currents into the grid just a little bit. Without them the grid just
settles down to mostly one repeating pattern. Sorry if my description kind
of stinks.

They are all relaxation type. 

I'm also thinking about the high voltage analog switches Pat Kammerer
mentioned as a way to switch cap banks.

I'll bring it to PNW SDIY, but it will probably just be a nasty bunch of
tacked together parts. The only thing for sure I'll have done is my 
stinkin' badge.

See ya then,
Toby
