[time-nuts] GC-1000 Clock Cap Choice?

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi Magnus:

I've just placed an order for 16 different kinds of caps.
Most of them are either low leakage or low series resistance 
electrolytic types but also a small number of plastic film caps.  Should 
be here in a few days.
Also have replacements for the tone decoder PLL ICs and the Op Amps that 
drive them, but will replace the caps first and see what happens.

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke
