I just got a Mighty Mouse kit. The only discrepency I have noticed is in the capacitors. The ones I recieved are labelled the following: 2A223K (2 of them), 2A333K TRACON (1 of them), and 2A103K (2 of them).

I assume tht the 2A223K is the .02 uF film (223) listed in the parts list, and maybe the 2A333K TRACON is the .01 uF film (103) in the list, but I have two of them. Are these the right parts and I just don't know how to read the labelling on them correctly? Or was I not sent the correct capacitors?

Any input will help. Thanks.

223 = .022uf
333 = .033uf
103 = .01uf

There is no .033uf cap in the parts list for the MM kit. However there should be a 33pf (marked 33 or 331) and a .0033uf (marked 332).

I had guessed that the 2A103 was the .01, and the 2A223 was the .022, but I'm not sure what should be used for the .001 and .0033 film capacitors (with the green heads, right?), since I have two of the 2A103K (where there should only be one according to the parts list) and the 2A333K, which I'm not sure which that matches up with on the parts list.

Sorry, I don't know a ton about electronics, so I'm kind of stumbling through this.

You should have 2 caps with orange heads (33pf marked 33 or 331 and 100pf marked 100 or 101). These are the ceramic disc capacitors. The film caps are green.

It looks like you may have gotten the wrong part (333) for the .0033uf (332) cap. If that's the case just let Keith know and he'll take care of it.
