1000 microfarads (abbreviated mfd or sometimes uF) should make a difference, if
that is the problem.  More won't hurt anything, but the 0.5 farad or 1.0 farad
"monster" caps are certainly overkill.  Used to be you could buy used 100,000
mfd caps at any hamfest for a couple of bucks, but I have no idea if that's
still true (or even if they still have hamfests).

35 working volts is plenty too, although again more won't hurt.  Be sure to
observe polarity when hooking it up.
