Default Re: Which cap?

Unless my eyes are deceiving me, there is a tolerance value of 10% showing below the "820EpF". That means that any replacement should ideally be between 738pF and 902pF, but I would be surprised if this was critical (I could be wrong). if the set was working with the capacitor at 620pF, that was already ~24% lower than the stated value. If indeed the set was working, why not just put the cap back in? A few bits of extra wire or one of those tinned-copper-wire joining devices should do it, if space is limited and just bending the wires together isn't possible.
