The value isn't critical if you can't find an exact match (usually marked in a 3-digit code) -

104 = 100nf
103 = 10nf if you can't find the former.

Here's the latest pic's of my RF modulator project.
I've got an enclosure to put it into, its in the process of being drilled out and I will finish it 2morow.

That's a neat layout satscaner

Just a little point - that looks like another electrolytic in there - never mind, doesn't matter if it's working OK, but it really needs a ceramic one (~100nf, as mentioned earlier.)

Whats the differance between the 2 types and there uses? is it stability

The capacitors filter out different frequencies depending on their value - put simply, large values (electrolytics) smooth out any ripple on the power supply, small values such as the 100nF one will cut off high frequency interference that may be picked up on the line.
