Caps attached to c4 and c5

[Brent]

Hi,

I seem to have misplaced one of the three 1uF caps that attach to c4 and c5.  Is there anything special about the ceramic caps aside from the size?  I'd prefer to use something from my stash or sourced locally if it doesn't turn up, rather than wait on shipping.  Also, how critical is the value, in case I am unable to find the exact value? 

Thanks,
Brent

Don't tell PJ, but if you leave one off, it's not the end of the world.

I had wondered about that too, since they're there to filter any noise that "might" be picked up by the heater circuit, as the manual puts it.  Thanks for the tip.
