No. Look again. Everybody has them.

.0005µF is same as 500pF. Widely available in silver mica or ceramic.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

.0005uf = 500pf, silver mica are easy to find doug has then.

.001 = 1000pf, you could use it  :icon_biggrin:
