Can't find them just about anywhere. I ordered some from Futurlec, but they ended up being out of stock with no expected stock date. I have EVERY other value I need, but for the life of me can't find 0.39μf.

Any recommendations?

Thanks again!

Use 330n and 68n in parallel - it'll be close enough. That's 0.33µF and 0.068µf for you non-Europeans.

You could also try using a .47uF cap instead,capacitors usually have a tolerance of + and - 10% of the marked value.... :)

If you don't have 0.33µF and 0.068µf (since they're less common), you can use .47uf & 2.2uf in series

...and there's many other combos. Just check thru your stock and:
