I'm sure that construction does not matter as much as value - here are some
aluminum electrolytic for $1.0284 each in quantities of 100.

Subject: Tantalum capacitors to stop blinking temp LED

I recently asked in a post about curing the blinking light syndrome
which was the proper capacitor, and someone--sorry, don't remember,
maybe David B.--said it was a tantalum 22uF 16v or better.

Mine is acting up again, after swapping it out this spring, and
thoroughly enjoying not seeing it blink. Mine is an 83, if that
matters.

I have located a supply of 100 each of

22 uF @ 35

22 uF @ 35

They are a dollar and a half each. I will be glad to go get as many of
them as anyone wants, and mail them for free if I can just put them in
an envelope. Someone just needs to confirm that either of them will
work.

And who was it who volunteered to solder it in? I don't expect it for
free, but I know I would screw that part up. always do.
