[sdiy] OBXa cards uses either 15uf -or- 22uf caps ?!

[Gil W.]

Well, the idea is to recap the entire instrument, PS and programmer board already done. I guess I'll swap one for one... 15 for 15 and 22 for 22.

 22μF is
 a "normal" size and 15μF is a "funny"
 size.  Although the E6 series goes 10, 15, 22, 33, 47, 68
 it seems that multiples of 10, 22 and 47 are way way more
 common than the others.
 
 I
 doubt you'd ever hear a difference in a practical
 circuit.

 them are 22uf while only 2 are 15uf. Should I just recap the
 15uf to an "all 22uf" to match the other 6 ?
 
 If it works, leave it
 alone.

 If it
 works, leave it alone.
