thanx

Clever.

Makes no difference.

1uFd would flicker (and cost more).

Under 0.001uFd would run so fast that -some- old-old-old Germanium devices would not respond.

Look behind your bench or under your chair for ANYthing between 0.5u and 0.005u (5n).

Sounds great. Thanx much for understanding that circuit. I'll put in the final piece...
