convention</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>could somebody clear this up for me
please?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
