OK Mumbles , please give us a electronics refresher on parallel vs series connection of capacitors. I’m looking at the two in parallel 0.15 uf and thinking that that results in 0.075 uf … correct ?

For capacitors in parallel (tied together at both ends) and resistors in serial (in a row) simply add the values.
Capacitors in serial (and resistors in parallel) are calculated using the "harmonic mean":
the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals or 1 / (1/a + 1/b ……)
