Hi Im building a Nautilus and have come across a couple of sticking points. Also I'm fairly new to the electronics game (2nd build)
Firstly the schematic specifies 1n8 caps in the C6 and C8 positions.
I'm having trouble sourcing suitable 1n8 caps in the uk and reallly would prefere not to get them shipped from oversees. I can get hold of 1n5 and 2n2 caps no problem. Would substituting these make a big difference?

Also I'm planning to roll my own vactrols. The schematic suggests using and LDR with charectoristics as close to, 20-50k light and 10M dark, as possible coupled with a 5mm water clear LED.
I can source one that does 50-160k light and 20M dark. I was wondering about putting a 20M resistor in parallel to make it ~50-160k light and 10M dark. Any thoughts?
