hi Eric,

If you have some basic skills for soldering, it's very easy. Here's the
summary of the link posted by Steven.

- Get a 15 volt 22 microfarad tantalum capacitor
- Open up the AFM
- Solder the POS (+) leg to terminal #2
- Solder the NEG (-) leg to terminal #4

Note: You may want to clean the carbon track too. Replace it if it's too
worn (but this is another job)

You're done.
