   The Multi Cap is out due to size - the 0.47/600V PPFXS is 1.8" long.

   Either Holco or PRP metal film w/ copper leads are excellent.  Be sure   
   you grip resistor leads with needle nose pliers when bending - failure   
   to do so can cause open or noisy resistors due to damage to the   
   connection between the lead and the resistive element.
