SID capacitor question

Would it be okay to use ceramic caps for filter caps on SID, just for testing purposes.  I have ceramics, but will have to order poly.  And I want to get the SID running this weekend.

Hi,

I guess it’s ok. (I’ll send you a “new” SID if it dies) Different caps have different characteristics, so just blame the caps, if filter sound wierd.. (or doesn’t sound at all).. give me a report.

As I’m trashing some C64/C128 boards, should I take caps with the sid?

sure, even though i can’t get my SID to work.  Must have a connection problem somewhere.
