unfortunately, Radio Shack does not have any .068uF caps anymore, but you can still improvise. Use one of these: http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?c ... 272%2D1068 and one of these: http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?c ... 272%2D1066

Wire them in parallel (not series) keeping the long and short wires together. When you wire it to the board, make sure the short wire is the one that is connected to the ground.

lol. wouldnt you need to run them in series?

Post by **SpongeBuell** » Sun Jul 10, 2005 7:09 pm

nope, it parallel... trust me. caps are one of the few things that get better/higher charge in parallel, not series

You must have eaten that Chiclet while it was on the running board, because a 68nF Chiclet discharges fast. You probably just tasted some lead. It's okay, it only poisons your mind.

I thought those little green men were only figments of my imagination... Children of the forums... Lead sucks!

Don't hold solder in your mouth if you need another hand! Get someone to help!

I chew on solder when I'm bored. It's fun, because you feel like you're flying!
