These are ceramic disk caps. A little smaller than the ones used on original Apple 1s. However I like the look a lot better than the monolythic caps I had originally purchased. I’ll get a good quality image up on my website, so prospective purchasers can see the component selection that I will provide. Then, I’ll send emails out offering kits to first few folks that got on the waiting list. Once I sell out the remainnig stock of PCBs (I only have 3 left). I’ll use the income to order a new batch which only should take a couple of weeks to arrive. Except for the PCBs and a few easily obtainable parts, I think I have enough of the other components to supply kits to everyone who is currently on the waiting list.

I also received the lower beta transistors with the caps. Results are mixed. One version didn’t have enough amplification and the video signal was barely visible at max monitor brightness. The other improved results, but didn’t completely eliminate the video glitch. If you are interested in fixing this issue, I’m going to recommend pulling C13, pin 6 down to ground with a 2.2K resistor, which completely eliminates the issue. This can be done in a completely reversible fashion without altering the PCB by soldering the resistor from pin 6 to pin 8 directly on the legs of the 74175 at C13.
