I may have one at home, I'd have to check... It would be ~$4-6 at MRO, Active, or B&E, if you were lucky enough for them to have one in stock. If you have a 1000uF and a 1200uF, that would work... as long as they would physically fit into the space where the one capacitor was before (careful not to short anything!) Just place them in parallel (positive to positive, negative to negative) and make sure the polarity is correct when you put it into the board. As long as the voltage is > 6.3V, they will work. The 105C temp rating may be important as well. -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
