MO What is capicitor value?

Got my MSII with V3 board and getting ready to add second VR circuit. What is the value of the electrolytic cap that bridges the 1M resistor going to the LM1815? It just looks like 33 to me with no other designator.

Thanks

Thanks, was just getting ready to post that I found another diagram that gave that value. Darn, now I need to take another trip to the parts store. Misread and got a 33 uF. Oh well that's life. Have a great day.

Please use a capacitor of type Tantalum or Ceramic.

Technically Tantalum is an 'electrolytic' but please for the love of god do not use a can-type electrolytic. They are junk. Engineer some quality into your solution by using the part I described.
