RE: [motm] OT- 606 mods/ nanofarads?

2000-12-09 by Brousseau, Paul E (Paul)

Unless one of my co-workers slipped me the crack-rock, capacitors are
typically measured in nano-farads and pico-farads.  Your 440 has got a few
itself.  Well, actually, quite a few.

Now, there might be something special about those particular values...  68
sounds familiar but 82 sounds a little odd...
