940 pF polystyrene cap OK for G7?

[hg_man]

Making up the buying list for my first mic, and already a question:

Surplussales.com has 940 pf 160 V polystyrene caps - is this close enough for the 1000 pf Styroflex cap specified in the G7 list?

Thanks!

Hi Alden,

Welcome to "The Lab"..!

Yep - 940pF is certainly close enough for the grid-coupling capacitor.

What about the 0.01313µF caps I just got in a bag of mixed caps - that's a weird value...

Best regards,

Thank you - much appreciated! (Alltronics has 1000 pF/ 500V polystyrene, cheaper too, but the fewer purchases the better, eh?)

The 940 pF caps are weird: they are +/- 2.5%, so somebody must have wanted them at that particular value. Go figure...
