Hey, thanks for having me on the forum. This is my first post. I'm 2.5 of 5 on the expert scale where 5 are the builds here and 1 is "a soldering what?". I've been making kits for a few years purely for myself.
So I found a brand new package Large Beaver v2 on the net and snapped it up. It had never been opened. The build is going great, I'm building the triangle version V1. Here's a photo of my build so far.

But I got confused with the parts list. Briefly, I'm up to C1, C6, C13 and C15. Step seven on the instructions says this is when I should install aluminium electrolytic caps.
I have four tin can caps; 3 x 1uF and 1 x 10uF
These caps don't appear in the build list although they are in the packing checklist. Looking through the forum I think I get the message that the electrolytic caps are for the other version? Please tell me if I'm mistaken
I also have these four caps.
2 x 0.5 ceramic disc
2 x 0.1LuF foil caps. (two of six in the packing list)

However, the instructions call for different values:
C1: .1
C6: .05
C13: .05
C15: .1
The question is: Can I substitute 0.1 foil caps in C1 and C15?
Also. What goes in the spot lower left next to T3? Looks like it should be a diode?
Many thanks
