I've been reading the archives about the "capacitor fix" for the AFM.
I'm going to attempt this procedure over the weekend. However, I just got
back from my local Rip-Off Shack, and, of course, they didn't have exactly
what I was told was needed.
Here are the available choices:
10 microfarad 16WVDC Tantalum Capacitor
22 microfarad 35WVDC Electrolytic Capacitor
Can I substitute the Electolytic for the Tantalum?
Or is 10microfarads okay instead of 22?
I know that the Electrolytic has completely different properties than, say,
Ceramic caps, but I don't know the differences between Elec and Tant - I'm
just not enough of an EE to know this stuff - and it wasn't covered in Art
School...
