Thanks , have another question , calls for a 150pf ceramic specifically , can i substitute it for a silver mica 500 v 150pf  or something else suggested ? , don't see any ceramic caps listed on the smallbear stocklist .

Whats the difference between ceramic & silver mica ?

found another :   Panasonic ECQ-B 150 pf but its low voltage poly film , would this be better ?

The poly-film will probably be a better choice than the silver mica because the mica cap will probably be much larger,  physically, but offhand I would say that ceramic caps are generally a lot cheaper than the other two.  And much smaller.

Thanks for the heads up , looks like i'am going with the poly film !
