Or would I be better off one of the other dozens of types of capacitors? Can one type be "generally" used for many applications? Or, perhaps I might need 3 basic types to cover most of my bases.  Keep in mind, I will mostly do HF, VHF type radio work. Other stuff as well, but who knows.


Asside from the electrolytics, I would stock a few
dozen ceramics and some mylars.  Mylars for audio
and timing applications.

1kv ceramics of .01 and .001 mfd.
400v mylars of .01, .001, .1 and .2 mfd.
