@ IST:

Here is a link to where i got my caps.

This page has the ones I want to get next.  2.7v 400F.  $30 each.  that is a lot of farads for this prince.  Makes my 10F look tiny.

@ Freezer:

The link I posted above has the same caps for about the same price as where you posted.  But, they have a whole bunch (hundreds) to choose from.  I had posted this way back but I posted it again for IST in my previous post.  My 10F's were about $3.00 ea.  I posted above to the 2.7v 400 F ones I want to order next.  They have 1F 10 F all the way up to 4,000 F.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page I posted, you can see a wide range of sizes and that is just in this type alone.  That site is a bit confusing and it took me a while to find what I wanted so that is a good page as you can see many other choices on the same page as well.

Thanks, I'll probably order some soon.  Too bad they don't go down to 1volt.

I'm interested in what ist talked about the crystals.  I have like 50 of these crystals lying around all at different mhz, so I might start messing around with that.  Perhaps the crystal structure could be excited by magnetic fields or certain frequencies coming off.
