[Boatanchors] Hallicrafters SX-101A

[Carl]

Disc ceramics work best in the RF/IF area and the yellow axial film caps do 
well for higher values where discs cost more. Mouser carries both in name 
brands plus the filters at a good price plus actual shipping. Ask for USPS 
First class as the weight is too low for the UPS pricing rates; they default 
to UPS otherwise.
