Or 2 x 4.7M was: 10Mohms1/4 watt resistors

Hi,

I still have some so I wrote Gates off list too...

In the future, I think I will go to using two 
DigiKey#  4.7MH-ND  instead of 10MH-ND.

These are 1/2 watt carbon film 4.7 Meg resistors instead of the 
single 10Meg resistor.  The advantage is that you can put two in 
series and then the leads will be long enough to reach over to the cap leads.

I think DC and a few others do this and I think it is a great idea 
too!!  It double the cost to 2 cents instead of 1 cent :0)) but a 
small price to pay to get past the leads always being too short 
;-))  It also reduces the voltage stress if the resistor is next to 
the cap since the center is now "neutral".  The voltage is now 1/2 on 
the resistors too which helps that concern even though it has never 
been a problem.

Does anyone have any concerns with this??

Cheers,

        Terry
