I have recently recieved my new to me Argosy. In one of the many mods I note it 
suggests replacing a 33uF elec cap with a 22uF Tantalum cap. This is to help 
reduce the AGC pumping action. For fun I replaced the cap with a regular 22uF 
cap which had no real effect. Would a tantalum make that much difference? Has 
anyone done this?

cheers
