After looking at harald_nancy page:
http://www.geocities.com/harald_nancy/intermitt._syndrome.htm

i went to Radio shack to buy a capacitor.  I was looking for a 16 volt, 22
micro farad tantalum capacitor.  Well, I couldn't find one.  Here is what
is in the radio shack catalog (pg 270 if you have one):

Tantalum Capacitors:
10 microF, 16 WVDC (I assume WVDC means volts) <--- is this the one?
1  microF, 35 WVDC

Hi-Q ceramic discs:
4.7 pF  50 WVDC
47 pF 50
100 pF 50
220 pF 50
470 pF 50
.047 microF 50
.1 microF 50
.001 microF 500
.0047 microF 500
.01 microF 500
.01 microF 2000

Metal film:
microF  WVDC
.01 50
.022 50
.047 50
.1 50
.22 50
.01 400
.1 250
1 250

Axial-Lead electrolytic
microF WVDC
4.7 35
10 35
22 35  <----- is this the one, too many volts?
47 35
100 35
100 35
220 35
470 35
1000 35
2200 35
4700 35
1000 50
2000 50

Radial-Lead electrolytic
microF WVDC
220 16  <---- is this the one?  to many farads?
470 16
1000 16
4.7 35
22 35  <---- how about this one?
47 35
100 35
220 35
470 35
1000 35
100 50

So, do I need to go somewhere else, or is the one I need here?
