   I've got the file on my computer under the file name "John May   
   2025-02-15". The file shows C3 and C6 as 100uF electrolytics.   
   You have to dig into the part name to find the word "tantalum".

   John Larkin may be in the habit of not taking data sheets seriously, but   
   more serious people are more careful. George Kent and Cambridge   
   Instruments designed them into products, and  they didn't "detonate" in   
   the field. Junior engineers did occasionally solder them into prototypes   
   the wrong way around, but they didn't do it twice.
