New MOTM capacitors

New MOTM capacitors

2000-07-24 by Paul Schreiber

The purple-ish-blue Panasonic caps used on every MOTM kit to bypass the
power supply rails
has been discontinued. :(

So, you will start seeing another cap, same value/rating, but probably
orange in color.

A few of the older instructions have references to the color. Don't panic:
just solder the new ones right in there!

  Bah, I'll just use some tantalums and this spool of rosincore solder I
have here... ;)

  FWIW I have some green aluminum electrolytics, now just need some yellow
and red for that prismatic effect...
