[sdiy] need help with a filter

Wow, I'm glad it's not just me.  Seriously, the circuit would work for about a minute and then it would stop until I wiggled and re-inserted every lead.  Maddening.

Seconded. Myself, I just solder the leads together in the air. Once I switch to SMD I'll see if that still works with the passives at least.
