Al, I would be very careful about adding any tantalum capacitors. Back when I worked as an electronic technician I discovered the failure mode of these devices. They start off with a little leakage current. As they leak the get hotter. The hotter they get the more they leak. This continues until they build to critical temp and then explode sending a molten projectile 10 feet or more. I actually had some blowup while testing and they burnt a hole in the floor 10-20 feet away.
After that I always made sure that there was a metal cover over the unit being tested. Just a word to the wise. Jim
