it _really_ looks like 2200mf and 47mf.

The schematic shows the horizontal sync coupled to
a gate via a "2200 mf"
non-polarized cap....
a "47mf" tantalum cap...
I'm not familiar with that circuit, but I wonder if the scan or JPG has
made an 'n' look like an 'm' and turned 2200nf into 2200mf? 2.2mfd (ie
2.2uF) is not uncommon for a non-polarised cap, being used in some
telephone circuits. On the other hand, 47uF is more reasonable than
47nF for a tantalum.
