[sdiy] Replacing an obsolete FKC Capacitor

[Bob Weigel]

I think I have a bunch of the glass ones in that size..I'll check if you 
haven't found anything yet. I know I have 390pf in bulk...which is 
almost half that.  Could always paralell a couple and paralell another 
small cap to get 820 in a pinch. -Bob
