That's a tantalum capacitor for sure. But what kind of capacitor is in the ebay lot?

They are selling these as electrolytics. Looking close, they don't seem too perfectly straight.
They almost look like fireworks!

They look like polypropylene film capacitors, but i can be wrong.

Hi Fred,
You may be right about that. I always liked the tantalum capacitors. Those are cool as long as you don't go over thier voltage rating. And they never wear out like electrolytics (at least mine never did).

Yes, tantalum are good as long as they are very carefully used.Their tendency to just go into a complete short circuit for no apparent reason make me fear them .

where is maxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?

Yes,me too, for some reason when we talk "capacitors" i think "Max"

However, I cannot see why it would need to be a polarized capacitor. Simply replace it with a 100nF cap.

Agree. C2 isn't electrolytic.
