Are these two parts something I can buy at RS? I don't want to have to
drive 20 miles to the nearest real component store if possible.
Well a 1n4007 at RS may still be possible, likely 2 for 1.99. I buy
them 500 for $15 from JDRmicrodevices. Can never have enough spares.
The cap I'd likely hunt around for a junk radio or computer monitor
chassis and pull it from there.

CR408 is a 1A 400V diode (1n4006 should do)
Is there any reaosn not to use a 1N4007 here as well? I generally don't
buy the other IN400x's as I've yet to find an application where too high
a PIV is a problem.
