Almost done with the paper caps and wouldn't you know it I'm short one value . Put the order in yesterday for the replacement. I'm hoping to have the paper caps finished by the end of the week and move on to electrolytics by the weekend.
I did run into one capacitor value that I couldn't find a direct replacement for, .0025mfd. I used one .0015mfd and one .001mfd in parallel.

I used electrical tape to wrap each lead on each cap and then hot glued the two caps in place. Did any one else manage to find a direct replacement for these caps?
