it says it requires a 1µF 16V radial capacitor...problem is the only one I have on hand is the 1µF 50V one. And radio shack doesn't sell the 16V either...are they interchangable?
Having a voltage that's a LOT higher than the required voltage can sometimes result in a change in the capacitance value (lowering) because the electrolytic action doesn't set up quite the same way as it would nearer the rated voltage. Newer caps probably aren't as prone to this as were the electrolytics of the 1960s and 1970s.
