Just what it says -- this is the place for any discussions not related to Buying, Selling and Trading ham gear. The discussion must be related to Ham Radio.
Hi Group!
Here is the $64.00 question for the week. Who has the best prices on capacitors (electrolytic,gum drops,and silver mica). I am restoring several Hallicrafters receivers (S-38's - a lot of them, SW-500's, S-108, SX-130) and need a reliable inexpensive source of caps. Hamfests are not very reliable (as a trip to Huntsville Al. hamfest proved). Have checked out Digikey and Mouser, but looking for other sources. Anybody have dealt with other sources and been satisfied? You can email direct, or thru this medium. Many thanks to you who reply with constructive comments.

Newark Electronics can be good. Hugh 2" thick catalogue. Commercial - industrial supplier. Only one problem that I see, everytime I look for something (even like Li AA's) they're out of stock.
