Try reading: http://www.cgs.synth.net/modules/parts_faq.html It should help
you. Failing all else, you can just use the metalized polyester for everything.

Ken:
This is such a useful faq; thank you.
Perhaps you already know, but something's not right with the link to
it on your Web site. I tried different browsers and none would get
the page.
Were it not for the link in your message I might never have seen this
great resource.
Thanks,
Mark

that page works fine from here, and looking at the source it's
absolutely bog-standard HTML. are you experiencing other connectivity
issues?

PARTS FAQ (was[cgs_synth] capacitor advice)

2009-09-30 by Dave Kendall

FWIW,
the link doesn't work for me either from the home page.

The big Red FAQ link works OK, but the link at the bottom of that page
to the Parts FAQ comes up with Error 404...


cheers,

Re: PARTS FAQ (was[cgs_synth] capacitor advice)

2009-09-30 by Mark Olson

Hmmm...
I sent my original message from home where I used my Mac, Safari,
Camino, and Firefox, all no go.
Now I'm at work and have tried a Mac with Safari and Camino, and a
windows box with both firefox and ie, all still not go.
As for viewing the source, regardless of where I am in http://www.cgs.synth.net/
when I try to see the source all I get is the html for the home page.
What I know about about html would fit into a frog's ear so I leave
the problem solving to better men :-)

Re: PARTS FAQ (was[cgs_synth] capacitor advice)

2009-09-30 by Ehud Tamir

Hi everybody,

On this subject I can testify that I had no problem to reach the FAQ page this morning (after reading the original complaint), but trying again now,(after reading Mark's post) all i've got was truly theCGS home page.
Hoever, I've made a PDF print copy of the FAQ, nso if anybody needs it urgent, let me know, I can send it.

Ehud

It works now :)
The Parts FAQ is also linked from the bottom of the construction pages. I am
amazed so few find it.
