ah mr carlsons lab, been watching that for a while I particularly like the way he does restorations, that channel is a mine of useful information, his video on how to make an active probe is good one.

"Non" polarised capacitors are you inserting them the RIGHT way round?

I just use mylar and polypropelene, and try to stay away orange/brown dip. Polystyrene can stay in the components bin forever unless I'm desperate. I learned that Tantalums are good too, for decoupling/bybass. I noticed that ceramic caps are very unstable with changes in temperature. Even new capacitors especially electrolytic and tantalum need to be checked before using in circuit. Ever since I found a new electrolytic with e.s.r way outside of spec. I decided it was good practice to check them first.
I learned that mylar caps are good for oscillator circuit, because of there extremely good stability.
